OK, who els is appauled by rising health insurance cost's ?
My Blue Cross, PPO went up 24% this year !
The cost of living only went up 2%
How is this outragous increase warranted ?
Prescriptions co pay gone up, deductables from $100-$250 no longer exist, they are now $500- $2000

There has to be something we can do, drug companies are earning record profit's, ceo record bonus's....
I am single, my company i work for cover's a large quantity of the cost for me, i do pay 37.00 a week though.
I really feel bad for families, that are paying 120-150 a week for insurance !

 

[Focker]

yeah I know.... that's horse sh!t ! <_<

 

[pirlgirl]

what about health insurance you buy for yourself if you're self employed, how much is that a year?
comparable coverage to a PPO from an employer....
Instagator, any input?

comparable ppo, for man and wife, approx $750-900 a month, my dad was paying $835 a month when he was laid off last year.

And just think...I am one of the people that helps these healthcare companies give the CEOs larger bonuses...

And the issue with health insurance is the ONLY ISSUE I have with being in business for myself...yeah, I got a tax bill. But not too bad for not paying any ALL YEAR...

I won't have to pay my Ex's health insurance in a few more months...maybe he'll get A JOB and cover the kids... oh boy. Never Mind.

Perks of being a weak, worthless self-sufficient woman.....

[puppetshow]

I am feeling the stress of this one big time!!

in less than 2 weeks I will be w/o health insurance- (divorce)
I am also self employed and was quoted approx $325.00 a month just for me- my kids are covered thru their dad but I am on my own

I have never been to the doctor more than I have been the last few weeks trying to get everything done & checked while I still can!!

laney when you drop Chaz from your policy you can add me as your other dependant!!

 

[ThreeCrabs]

We pay our own insurance........it sucks, big time. I could have a much bigger boat and new pickup truck. I don't mind paying for good health insurance......I just don't like getting screwed (by them anyway!).

Lisa - talk to Steve. He'll have a few options for you.

And the answer is HELL NO.

But I will pay you very nicely WHEN you sell my house

hey, I knew it was a long shot but worth a try

 

[NoMoreDrama]

What kind of response did you expect from a weak, worthless woman

 

[surfergirlck]

i have no insurance, haven't for 10 years, and i'm ok.
BUT JUST OK.
i want it desperatly.....insurance that is

 

[MONEYSHOT]

My guy is self employed and pays $137 per month for his insurance. It's not that great, but if he were to end up in the hospital, they will pay for the bulk of it.
I'm not a Clinton Fan, but it would be nice to have healthcare just for being a citizen! Everyone always compares it to Canada's but in reality, Canada's isn't bad, just ask Canehdian Girl, no one ever compares it to Japan, Sweden, Netherlands, or Australia. The United States is the only industrialized nation without universal healthcare in the world!

 

[pirlgirl]

Yeah, I'm talking about for a "single self employed person". No kids or other dependents......thank goodness..... sounds like an extra house payment for you family folks!!!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Puppetshow, what do you get for that $325
and from who?
I know a persons age and pre-existing conditions also come into the picture too.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Moneyshot, I'd like more info on that $137 too please.

Isn't someone on here an insurance person? Whoever it is, talk to them, they MUST be able to get you a decent rate. God forbid something happen to you, how will you pay the bills??
