Idea on getting health, dental, eyecare, life and disablity insurance:

Drivers pay a $3/per day a City "ground tax" through their leases. Owners who operate their taxicab pay the same $3/day.

Drivers also pay an airport departure tax, a $1 per airport trip sold in $2 stamps.

That's $3 to $5 per shift per driver. THat's $15,000 to $25,000 per day. That's $5,467,000 to $9,125,00 per year.

Do you think there are any insurance companies out there that would want to provide a great group health/dental/eyecare plan for the drivers for an annual premium of up to nine million or more per year?

Now, how do we get the City's filthy, robbing, cheating, stealing hands off this money that drivers collect and put to use so that benefits the drivers and their families?
