Off Topic Health Care Rant


Just got a little health insurance shock to start my year off. Currently covered by my former employer's COBRA plan until I qualify for coverage here. WOW, is all I got to say. The new plan has a $2,500.oo per person $7,500.00 per family deductible and then only pays 70%, and then only 70% of what they think it should cost. Then you start looking at the employee share of the premium and you're out some serious money before you ever see a penny from the insurance company. It 's sure a far cry from when I started in the mortgage business 14 years ago. My employer paid 100% of the premium and we had a $10 copay on EVERYTHING. Well off to look at my checkbook to see if I can afford to get sick or not. The only upside is that my new employer has better coverage.
