Starbucks

My husband recently decided to look around for a new place to work to replace his construction job. Construction pays well but it's not dependable, hard on the body, and I really don't think that the employer cares AT all about the well being of their employees. I recommended that he check out Starbucks because I had heard that they offer INSURANCE TO PART TIME EMPLOYEES. I mean now days this is almost completely unheard of. Most students don't have insurance because their unable to work the hours required by most businesses, and it's extremely frustrating. I really wish that there were more business like Starbucks, who actually invest a little into the well being of their employees. The other day I was researching how much it would cost to purchase insurance privately and it was ridiculous. At least $150+ a month and the deductible was anywhere from $5000-$10000. I'm not for universal health care but I am definitely for Tort reform, which would ultimately decrease the costs of insurance.
