1. My hubby and I have our own business
Edited on Fri Sep-19-03 05:23 PM by sybylla
We purchase our own major med coverage and Tuesday I recieved a bill for the next quarter that had gone up 20% from the last. And the next quarter it will go up some again because of hubby turning another year older (it's just another excuse to raise the rate). So for the next year we will be paying over $4600 for insurance that bears a $7500 family deductible. We are fortunate to be healthy. I don't know how we could afford it otherwise.

Our local school district is paying over $16,000 for full coverage health insurance for the teachers. I guess if that is what the alternative costs, I'll have to be happy with what I have.

on edit: grammar
