My job wants me to quit, because of health care $$

Posted by Sebastian on March 24, 2007, at 22:43:15

My pills are so expensive, 3 doctors. One for mental illness, one for hemocromotosis, and a general doctor.

Sebastian, do you live in the U.S.?

I'm no legal expert, but if you are in the U.S., I think your employers could be in a difficult legal position if they try to displace you for that reason.

Well, I can certainly understand why you would do that. If you have evidence that they forced you out because of medical reasons, I'd still try to see an EEOC lawyer, if you are in the US.

" Sebastian they can't do it it's North Carolina. Love Phillipa or is it that they want you now to use generic instead of name brand meds?"


But in the US, employment is at will, unless by contract. They are free to not offer you a job at any time for no reason. Most people are in this class in the US.

If you are a protected class, things are different.
