Check workhistory site, you can see the paystub

It looks like a rate compare site where you must manually submit to three different insurers to get quotes, but no discounts. Am I missing something? They push it every year.

I only wish that the company would make these and other ethical decisions on its own rather than relying on external forces to coerce into doing the right thing. Does anyone know if this impacts Hum, or is it just restricted to tower-based location... — read more
