Thanks!  I wonder if that is a leader price.  They get you in and then bump it once underwriting evaluate the insured.   Blue Cross just quoted $500 a month, $3000 deductible, 40% of first $10,000.  That is $6000 per year in premiums, and a $7000 max deductible per person per year.   ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Thu, 3/15/12, Lisa Kachold wrote: From: Lisa Kachold Subject: Re: OT: Health Insurance To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Thursday, March 15, 2012, 8:33 AM Hi Keith, Check out this search link with an at a glance quote comparison (using 55 years old for both husband and wife), starting at $187.50 a month. In my experience your quote was OUTRAGEOUS (shop around)!

Recently I received several quotes.  $600 a month, $6000 deductible for me and $6000 deductible my wife.  And we must pay 30% of the first $10,000 (each).  These are per year.  Once we pay $10,200 (annual premium + annual copay) of the first $10,000 the insurance kicks in and will pay what is left. As a result I have decided to go without insurance.  I'd be happy to pay $500 a month for a normal HMO policy. (well not completely happy, I think $500 a month is too high). Short of building a business that has employees and qualifies for group health insurance, what can I do? Thank you for your insight! ------------------------ Keith Smith --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -- (503) 754-4452 Android (623) 239-3392 Skype (623) 688-3392 Google Voice ** it-clowns.com -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
