I have NEVER paid for healthcare and i have got some hard stuff on my family.

In case you want the "juicy" examples:

3 people dead from cancer where 2 of them lived more than 7 years with numerous treatments, including chemo.
3 heavy surgeries. The last was my father who got rammed by a van while riding his motorcycle. He got the full left leg in platinum. Probably cancer is more expensive but that one was all done in 11 surgeries in less than 2 years.

Hope that helps.

The country is Spain by the way.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
