MUDRUNNER Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 sure does stink!I just found out that starting next month my health insurance through work is going up $104 a month.On top of that, copay is going up $10,e.r. visit has doubled, and prescriptions are going up $15.GHP is the pits! My wife is checking some other places for insurance for her and the kids.Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 On blue cross blue shield here through my wifes work, it is not the best out there, but it is what we got and it is better than nothing at all. Had an individual plan through blue cross blue shield in the past that was about the same, just cost a little more. Aetna has some fair to decent plans, might check e-health, you can compare rates on several plans there without having to talk to anyone pitching one plan or another to you.

Tominator Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 It's hitting us all. They do that to us at work too. Give us a 3% raise and take it back with increased premiums. I can't complain too much though, I have pretty good insurance, kind of makes up for the lousy salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just got off the phone with the insurance agency. I need insurance on myself. Gonna cost $152 a month with a $2500 deductible. Gotta have it. I like Chris Rock's theory about health insurance.:D:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Vote Democrat...................they're going to fix it all. You know,our governor Rod Blago(D) has a thing set up called "All Kids" for kids in Illinois.Sounds great right?Get this,my kids don't qualify until they've been uninsured for 12 months,but illegal immagrents can move to Illinois and be covered immediately at the tax payers expense.What a crock! On the plus side i done a little negotiation with the boss(brother-in-law), and talked him into splitting the increase with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, how could anyone afford that? It's getting crazy as people can't afford the insurance, much less the treatments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
