stay healthy.. 'cause you can't afford to get sick?

[squidink]

I used to self pay my insurance. My insurance company was Anthem (in CT). I heard this recently on the news, and sure enough...

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has proposed increases averaging 23 percent and ranging as high as 32 percent for people under 65 who bought individual plans on their own.

if I was changing 'age range' it may well have been a 40% increase.

there is NO WAY I would have been able to afford this. I now have coverage through my job (we got funding for the company, knock wood, so we have a group policy).


of course, now I'm an 'untouchable' so Anthem would never take me back, anyway.

this is disgusting.

the thought of it all is enough to make a person ill
