The year was 2025…………….
“Your group health insurance is going up this year but I have some good news! I was able to get some underwriting relief” purred the well dressed and attractive BUCA rep.
“The employee rate is going up from $800 to $1,000, only $200 more!” she continued.
“But the family rate is going to $2,500 a month, $30,000 a year! screamed the CEO. “There’s not a family in America that can afford that!”
“RELAX! It doesn’t really matter, there are only two employees covering their family now!” said the now anxious and attractive BUCA rep.
“Oh, I feel much better! BTW where is Slick Johnny, our insurance agent? Why isn’t he here?” barked the CEO.
“He’s busy down at the new car dealership looking at buying his dream car. He said to tell you thank you for the business!” stammered the BUCA rep. as she nervously lights her third cigarette.
“When will this end? said the CEO.
“Never, it’s just the way it is. Suck it up and be happy!” replied the voice behind the bellowing nicotine cloud.
Fast forward to the year 2030……………………….
“Hi George, I have good news! I got underwriting credit and your rate increase is only 25% this year!” said the hoarse but still attractive BUCA rep.
“But the family rate is going up to $50,000 a year. There’s not a faimily in America that can afford that!” screamed George, the company CFO. “By the way, where’s Johnny, why isn’t he here!”
