Consider that women still lag behind men with the same experience and qualifications in pay rates for similar positions.
That's what I thought. As such, in MA, you can't really negotiate to agree not to take health insurance for higher pay if you have anyone in the same class as you.

As such, scott's argument is invalid - like I said from the beginning.
