Can I find a cheaper service? |

Probably. Some of us have certainly worked for a few of them. We even worked within hours of breaking elbows and collar bones, on torn joints and sprained hands. And we watched co-workers in need of immediate medical attention from dog bites face employers threatening termination if said medical attention was, indeed, immediately sought. We were treated as contractors, and sometimes still never saw a 1099. There was no health insurance. No workman's comp. We showed up in slings because the way the job was structured wasn't up to us. And the expected employee turnover in such scenarios lends itself to lower costs.
Around here, we think it makes perfect sense for people to have access to healthcare, and access to paid leave to enrich and develop their lives. In short, we think dignity matters. In a world where cheaper tends to be synonymous with "better", we anticipate some folks may opt to look elsewhere. That's okay with us.
