Well the way my doctor explained it to me is I've given my work 2.5 years of good work and now I'm too ill to do my work I'm entitled to some medical leave off so that I can return to work and be efficient once again when I'm better. You have insurance, we just have our work pay us, either way we get paid so why go on about where the money comes from? It's like I'm sure we in Europe are entitled to more maternity leave than you guys, it's a different society. Our society wants efficient, happy and secure employees and in America they just want most bang for their buck regardless.
