Hell - I'm ready to drop my health insurance completely...

My company is fairly small - 65 or so company trucks. I was paying $110/month for health insurance for myself and my wife. Starting July 1st, our insurance went up to $250/month.

Mind you it also has a $5,000/year deductible per person, $20,000/year deductible per family.

Great, isn't it...

You need to read all the fine print before you sign any document, especially when it comes to insurance. Some policies have so many exemptions you have to wonder what they actually cover. Insurance companies continue to raise premiums while cutting coverage. I have been looking at policies recently. I am amazed at how much variance I see from one company to another. You really need to read ALL the information CAREFULLY. The last thing you need is to have to go to the hospital and find out after the fact that you have little or no coverage.

If you think coverage is bad now, just wait until the government puts in national health-care. The only people this will help are the insurance companies and politicians. It will create yet another bureaucracy that we don't need. Most politicians are lawyers. These lawyers have basically given away this country for their own profit. Insurance companies have no business making medical decisions. It should be up to the patient and their physician. The insurance company only needs to write the check.

The movie "sicko" by Michael Moore is a good one.

NAH, that wouldn't happen in the US!

Actually our elected representatives don't write the legislation which bears their name. They employ other lawyers to do that for them. I have been told that there are more lawyers in Washington DC than any other city in the nation. Would you care to guess who they work for? :shock:
