Their healthcare premiums cost them $620/month! Their healthcare premiums cost our company an additional $400/month each. My company has 120 employees and I have shopped around for better rates and coverage, but the market is set and everyone is charging these absurd prices.

All of the big auto makers are paying healthcare premiums on employess that retired 20 and 30 years ago, that is what is causing their bottom line to dip into the red. Union contracts from the past that made these companies responsible for paying for the healthcare premiums of workers until death is to blame.

Like I said, the big three are moving operations to Canada because they are saving money on benefits because insurance companies are raping Americans up the ass. By saying insurance companies are out of control, you are helping me prove my point. GM, Ford and Chrysler would not be losing so much money on benefits if insurance companies weren't raising premiums to new heights. CAW members are making $26 Canadian/hour, get the same benefits UAW workers were, at the same time companies are paying less for benefits and increasing profits through savings because of our healthcare system.

Also, you can't blame the union for the big three losing more than 20% of the market share in the past 10 years. They put together what is given to them. Poor design, inefficient motors, and unattractive vehicles are killing the big three.

If anything, I should be thanking the American insurance companies. They are giving us the high paying jobs that American's once took great pride in.
