UNDER THE NEW PLAN ? WITH NO MAJOR MEDICAL TRAGEDIES
A single worker, with PPO coverage, would see his or her out-of-pocket increase from $234 per year to $1,480 ? up $1,260!
That same worker, if he or she is in the HMO plan would see his or her costs increase from $54 to $1,200 per year ? up $1,146!

A worker who has a family and participates in the PPO plan would see out of picket costs go from approximately $640 to $4,095 ? an increase of $3,455 per year.* That same worker whose family participates in the HMO plan see his or her out of pocket costs increase from $90 to $3,685 per year ? up $3,595!

i'm sorry ... if my skills demanded i work at the grocery store, i'd be happy for insurance for 100 / mo. It sucks health care costs so much, but one trip to the doc for broken bone up will cost you more than 1200 .... to get full benifits for a job that doesn't take much skill is lucky (more to the point in so cal which has an abundance of labor). Some unions do good these days ... others only want more members and thoes members to re-bill ... sound like a familiar business model?
