Well, since I am unemployed I opted to do COBRA from my old job - $450 a month for BCBS of IL - full coverage. I have that for about 8 more months. After that I am screwed. You see, I can't get individual health insurance because of my pre existing condition. My new job dosen't offer insurance because of the cost, so I don't know what to do.

yes i have company insurance, but i do pay something? ($29.75 x 2 per month) i think , i recently changed to the basic plan because i was paying $2500 if i used it or not, i have to cover some of the stuff that is not covered up to $2000, but then after that the company pays for it! i have it for me and my "rat" daughter, just a word i call her, like rugrat, nothing mean by the word.

..Hi `Matt, I sure hope that they don't take away your coverage. It's another sad story on the way our country is taking care of those that have served. I know my grandfather got the run around, and he gave `up trying to get help. His purple heart is bleeding : (There are just to many sad stories today....I keep search'in 4 the good, and pray...Good Luck Matt.

when i first started my current job, the very first thing (literally first thing monday morning on day 1) was to find us health insurance. i never knew much about it till then. i still don't! my head was spinning after reading and researching for 4 hours. i ended up finding us a relatively good policy that the company pays for. for 4 employees it is just over $900 a month through United HeathCare. it's not the greatest plan but the co-pays aren't too bad and they cover emergency room visits and surgery and all that. it doesn't include dental, but they tell me we can get that for around $23/extra per person/per month.
