> IYDMMA, what's the illness and what's the cure? I am a "temporary staff" member at a state-run hospital entity, but because I'm not "full-time" (which makes no sense because I work 40 hours a week) I'm not entitled to health benefits. So I am trying to bullshit my way into other "full-time" jobs in order to get the health care I need. The state used to give me free health care, but because I make $40ishK a year, they have taken it away. It's worth noting that this varies by state and tends to change based on the number of employees. In NJ for employers with under 50 employees, 25 hours/week is considered full time for the purpose of extending medical benefits.
