Everybody understands the point you're trying to make. It's been argued ad nauseum. The bottom line is that paying more for tv than health insurance is a CHOICE that you are making. You have every right to choose differently.
The day my employee discount ends is the the day I will cancel my service. I get reliable OTA and could get baseball via MLB.tv. Would I miss my Hoppers? Sure, to some extent, but life would go on. I wouldn't have the convenience of the dvrs, but adding a Roku in some combination with Netflix/Hulu would be a reasonable substitute. My bill without discount would be somewhere around $170 (2H/2J, a 211, Top 250 plus the free premiums they give us), and it's just not worth it, to me. I probably watch 10 channels, including the locals.
Everybody is in a different situation, but if you think it's ridiculous, then cancel. The increases most likely will not be ending in the foreseeable future.
