The main reason I'm still at my job is because of insurance. My hubby's company has the most heinous way of handling it and he'd take a HUGE pay cut for us to get our family insurance through his job {close to $1K a month, yikes}. So here I am...<br /><br />I'm praying my new nutrition career will take off after graduation and I can move on to something I enjoy and that hubby will move on to a ministry job that he loves {that has much better benefits}.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328823688208661097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-42071111884247772632011-07-20T14:57:11.201-04:002011-07-20T14:57:11.201-04:00I can unfortunately vouch for body parts crapping ...I can unfortunately vouch for body parts crapping out after 40 - was just remarking to my husband the other day that we have so many dr. appointments now we can't possibly work - there's no time!!!!Carma Sezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897159620671834070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-47883822304132208222011-07-20T11:27:37.342-04:002011-07-20T11:27:37.342-04:00150 a week???!!!

Health insurance baffles me. <br /><br />I have no suggestions that what you've already done--compared polices, weighed the cost, etc.<br /><br />It is stories like this that I wish our health insurance companies would read and understand that we shouldn't be going broke just to be able to to have this benefit.Kelley with Amy's Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815426069055211963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-3663229147240649772011-07-19T16:47:37.171-04:002011-07-19T16:47:37.171-04:00Years ago, when both the hubster and I were workin...Years ago, when both the hubster and I were working for the State of Florida, we got our insurance for FREE. Granted, we were making peanuts, but what a GREAT benefit! We are fortunate in that his state insurance is not too expensive and does cover a lot. <br /><br />I do, however, feel for those in this country who, like you, pay through the nose for benefits that don't really help out that much.<br /><br />I think we're getting ourselves in to a bind because people are not going to the doctor regularly and will, as a result, incur high costs when or if something serious goes wrong and undiagnosed because of the high premiums that prevented the person from going in earlier.<br /><br />Have you tried looking into the Christian organizations where you pay "shares" and can use the shares if you need something? I'm not sure what these groups are called, but if you google, I'll bet you could find something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-62903514405719689082011-07-19T16:35:19.330-04:002011-07-19T16:35:19.330-04:00When u figure it out let me know!!

Brad paid $1000 a month for his insurance when he lived in Indy--he has degenerative back disease and needed much attention.<br /><br />Fortunately, though teachers don't make a lot of money, our insurance is fair. <br /><br />But I have had times where I've gone uninsured, when I was a returning college student was one time. It was a crap shoot.
