health insurance

Job market is crap here, too. But what's the difference of paying the employer for insurance or paying for a private plan? They're both going to be expensive.

good point..

I just meant that a lot of small business owners don't offer health insurance at all.

You are paying for it either way. I was employed at this place where all of these women were EXTREMELY fucking obese and I paid out of my ass for basic coverage.


Healthy people pay a ton of money so fattys can continue to live.

I agree. For the first time in my life I don't even have health insurance right now because I certainly can't afford some high premium every month. I just pay for things I need out of pocket, and hope like hell I don't need surgery or anything anytime soon. :dunno:

How old is she?

Get her in school and she is good until 23 at least. Hopefully she will get to complete her training.

Most universities have an infirmary, so even if you pay for coverage you could avoid copays by seeing the school docs for minor things.

I feel ya and it sucks.

I haven't had it in 4 years, but will have a plan in August when school starts :thumup:.

My doctor is pretty cool and lowered his fee for check ups, but it will feel good knowing that I am covered.

yea just hope you dont need any kind of MRI's etc..

i had a couple MRI's on my neck and the nerves down my arm to look for an impingement. (turns out i just have tight scapula and rotator muscles squeezing on the nerve. need to go to physical therapy to loosen and stretch the muscles in that area.)

anyway 3 MRI's cost $18,000 dollars. insurance paid everything expect $500 deductible.

That's just crazy. When I hurt my chest I went and got an MRI without insurance and it only cost me $340 cash.

I had to have the type of MRI where they inject die into the shoulder capsule etc..

Ain't worth no 6k a piece though
