Uncompensated Help Did you know that only 24 percent of all part time workers in America had medical care benefits that were accessible at all times? This situation is very thought provoking considering how much work is provided by every daily American in our society trying to provide for their own. That leaves 76% part time working Americans that didn’t receive the benefits, not because they weren’t as worthy as the other 24%, but because of their selfish employers. Not only do these employers not provide benefits, but they come up short on wages and hours. If put together correctly, those three important pieces provide the financial stability in a growing family needed for survival in an imminent financial society. On average, the process to a fully rehabilitated sprained ankle is $500 to $650 without insurance through a hospital. That is the potential problem for an uninsured worker in America that could receive a phone call while at work, that their child sprained has their ankle while playing in physical education. No one should ever have to face that fear while at work, health benefits provide reassurance that they are in good hands if anything heartbreaking were to occur. Based off the income of a multi-million company acquires over a standard year there should be enough revenue to provide each and every worker with decent health benefits. While working at Dunkin Donuts®, there were minimal benefits if not any. We worked in very hazardous situations when it came to the slippery, oily floors and the burning hot stove ovens. If injured on the job, you were subject to file a workers comp form. The form was for a company outside of Dunkin Donuts that provided health benefits if only hurt at work so Dunkin Donuts didn’t get in any legal issues. The fact they only provided health benefits only if you were hurt on the job was very disappointing. To provide just a few hundreds in the case of an emergency outside of work would
