Actually, I think you could have a GreenguyandJim affinity group that would be covered by a plan. Similar to many of the organization plans out there, you wouldn't require all people to be in one state. I think the National Chamber of Commerce and a few of the Industry groups do this. The issue here is each state is still maintained as a group, and would require individual pricing -- at least when I checked it about two years ago and I think each state requires 2 people in a group.
Then you have to figure out which plan is right for everyone. With Aetna & BCBS, you can't mix and match PPO & HMO and Catastrophic in the same group. So, since I have 3 employees, and the wife unit wants PPO, everyone gets PPO until I have enough people that I can have two groups. Florida also mandates that an employer pays 50% of the plan coverage for any employee. I don't think affinity groups have that same restriction. It is a cool concept.

Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

I've got an individual policy through BCBS. Pretty freaking expensive.
ARS used to offer some kind of health insurance. I never looked into it but I assume it was some kind of group thingy they arranged.

Group health insurance for webmasters. That would be really cool.

Group insurance would be nice.
And I like the thought of the GG&Jim policy

I get free health care from the VA. The closest hospital is an hour and 45 minutes away. VA care sucks, but it's free.

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

I am also insured through hub's insurance from his "day job" - and we recently switched from a Blue Shield HMO to a government-based Blue Cross PPO and I love it. It costs a little bit more (about $500/month for 4 of us) and there is that $500/year co-pay per individual for non-regular type costs (for example: hub's asthma treatments, etc.) but compared to an HMO it's WAYYYYYYY worth it.
For example, my sister gets IEHP (Inland Empire Health Program) from the county out here in California - a free/low-cost kind of medical care program from the state... her coverage is better than the HMO we had before that we were paying $425/month for... I had a knee injury that took 5 weeks for MRI approval... she had a turned ankle and got an MRI the same day.... I think a webmaster insurance program is a great idea - I hope you guys pull it off. I know there are many who could have benefited from this over the years... |

I have been on the phone for about 2 hours now guys. It looks like a good family plan would cost between $250-$300/month. The problem is the logistics of everything.
Oh yeah, Smitty, I also have free medical through the VA. The last time I went there for my bad knee, they wanted to fuse it so it would not bend. Every Doctor I talked to after that laughed. Including the one that did surgery and fixed it. I would not go to the VA hospital for anything. |

i fucking told i type to fucking fast wtf
|
Jim, 250 to 300 is about 1/2 to 1/3 of some of the prices I have been quoted thats great
