    Health Insurance For Webmasters - Take Part

    I'm doing some research and wondering how many webmasters have Health and/or Dental insurance, and what type of converage.

    This is more for independent webmasters, 1099 guys and gals.

    Health insurance is one of those things, you don't think you need it till you actually do.

    Thanks!

      I thought they had one in the works at one time. I know this subject has been brought up plenty of times. I'm finding out it takes *ALOT* of work to get this going.

            You're referring too Major Med with 3 to 5 million coverage right?

            I definately would love feedback, putting something together.

                        I have that part already, for me to cancel that it would have to be super solid.

                          I have health insurance, but no dental/eye. Blue Cross / Blue Shield for like $80 month. I rarely ever have to goto the doctor though. So far I've had good luck.

                            I figured as much Tony.

                            I'm not collecting anyone's data, I'm looking to see where we are today with Webmasters, who need medical and dental coverage.

                            New project, that I think could benefit those of us who don't have the 3 - 5 million coverages.

                              There's another guy putting something together already... maybe a search (if its functioning) would help out here... I'll see what I can find.

                                Nothing seemed to happen on that thread.

                                I'm not in the planning stage, nor the quote stage, I have a finished product, but need to gauge if we have something that webmasters are interested in.

                                    Mine is through my wifes work and fully covered, but we are talking about her taking some time off maybe a year, so I may be very interested soon. I can piggyback on my dads business plan, but its kind of a hassle and they would have to show paying me to do it I believe, which is fine as I handle their web presence, but still a hassle. So ya Im interested. Our dental is eh. so Id love to get one that covers everything but maybe a small copay. Right now I think its a percentage or something.

                                        We have medical, major med, dental, prescription, vision and catastrophic and disability. i think it's a must especially when one works independently and there is no back up.

                                        it's through cigna; and, so far, they've proven to be very beneficial, other than the fact that they won't cover the quit smoking meds.

                                          I have Aetna, my wife has United Health Care

                                          I pay $143 a month, my wife pays $180 a month

                                          I am about to switch to United Health Care though, the plan my wife is on is MUCH better

                                          We also have Aetna and Ameriplan Dental discount programs, each costing approx $18 a month, and we get an average of 30-50% off our dental work

                                          TRUE Dental insurance is something I would be interested in BIG TIME, the discount is cool and all, but 30% off of $1200 ain't that big of a deal

                                                  I have health insurance. I've had dental insurance in the past but the dentists on the plans were "shady" to say the least. I'd rather pay my way and not be told I need expensive things I really don't need
