Word of advice if your going to take off work due to illness or have a significant insurance claim - do not post a photo of yourself (especially with a bikini on the beach) on facebook. In the past six months there have been several incidents where people have been fired from employers and insurance companies "investigating" claimants....
The real issue today is "sick days". If you are lucky enough to be employed with an organization that allows sick days then you my friend are lucky. However, if not - you are screwed. Of course you can always work sick so that you do not lose money.
That is the problem. Right now there are millions of North Americans working and have some strain of flu. Why? Because they cannot afford to take time off from work. Which means that they are spreading the flu around the workplace.
Yes, you think if we are in a time of flu pandemics that maybe someone at a govt level would think about this problem. People are coming to work sick because they cannot afford not to.
What we need is a supplement available from EI or the like to provide compensation for people who are sick to stay home and not worry about rent, bills and losing their job.
