[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 469886, member: 47"] Donna, right now I pay 5.50 every two weeks for a Blue Shield HMO with my employer paying 210.00 for the same period, and that is because we belong to a HR group for small businesses and the advantages for them to handle that kind of stuff are worth it. BUT, when he was thinking about dumping the HR people due to increase in costs, he agreed to pay for only one health insurance company, one that I wouldn't insure my dog with, and to get the same Blue Shield HMO, for me alone was a little over 740.00 per month. I hate HMO's, but wasn't willing to absorbe 20% of bills with a PPO - I just spent 5 days in the hospital - first time ever for anything - and I shutter to think what my share would have been, not to mention am still not out of the woods as far as surgery goes. Prior to this, only thing was a trip to the doctor here and there for kidney infections and blood pressure medications. From what I understand, in Ca. there is a program if you have no insurance for 6 months, you can get regular cost insurance and they have to take you with pre existing conditions. Might be in all states, don't know - my eyes start to glaze over if I have to do any research for medical insurance Marcie [/QUOTE]
