On Wednesday worker activists blew the whistle – literally - on what they call Rite-Aid’s health insurance scam. In New York, Los Angeles and Bellingham, Washington activists converged on Rite-Aid corporate events to protest hiking health care costs to workers that are 28 times higher than the actual costs of the program.

I guess this comes under the heading of "sold my soul to the company store".

2. Wait. More and more will come forward...

...as they see their employers try to use HCR to unjustly raise premiums.
