The standard routine response to this kind of thing for every other employer in the country that's big & formal & structured enough to have an HR department and official HR policies is an immediate suspension to investigate, with the option to either fire him or bring him back to work depending on the outcome of the investigation. Why couldn't this administration figure out such a simple, easy, straightforward, obvious thing that no other comparable employer in the country hasn't already had written into its standard operating procedures for decades?
If they were thinking of that at all, it only makes them look worse. Why does this guy deserve this consideration from them when the rest of the country doesn't? At least if the idea of protecting somebody from the insane disfunctionality of our health are "system" never crosses their minds, they're just absentminded or unaware or whatever and treating everybody equally badly; being conscious of the problem and coddling one of their own through it while leaving the rest of us to the vultures would demonstrate a far worse attitude than mere absentmindedness.
Was the article about their "sex life?"
Interesting.
I can see why you say this but I disagree. I don’t think the Biden Admin wants to leave anyone to the vultures as demonstrated by the ACA. So there’s no hypocrisy. Perhaps COBRA covers this as a matter of course. Miss a COBRA payment and you were SOL under the old “system” if you had a pre-existing condition. Once COBRA ran out you had to get a job with comparable benefits which in my experience has become a lot harder and impossible if you’re too sick to work. IIRC Trump threw a disabled 5-year-old nephew to the wolves at one point. Compassion is an explicit value to libs but is seen as weakness by current “conservatives.”
Well, yeah. You’re right. But it’s interesting, compared to the rest of the fodder the Biden WH is giving people to yap about.
