[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 344646, member: 3419"] [I]She defends the insurance companies profits saying that they are a business and entitled to make whatever profit they can.[/I] I agree, private companies should make a profit. But when no one can afford their products, according to free market principle, they should go out of business. I would love to vote with-my feet and will do so at some point. But right now, I don't know what the solution is. [I]I just don't know of any teachers here who are wealthy on their salary.[/I] Perhaps if salaries were raised to about $50,000/yr, and the positions were FT, as they are in Japan, the system would attract more competent people and there would be more to choose from. Lots more applicants, but a lot more qualified applicants, as well. I know college profs who would be great HS teachers but can't afford the pay cut. Just a thought. We could put less $ in the bldngs themselves. (Unfortunately, Codes Compliance makes that a bit difficult.) [/QUOTE]
