I carry my own group plan, but that is an awesome offer for all these people without insurance.

I can't understand how some of these people here can claim to make six, seven figures per year.. but don't carry basic necessities like health insurance.

Yes I AM interested definetly

keep me posted

We self pay insurance since it's rare that companies offer it any longer. More people are without it than ever. Our insurance no longer covers 'well checkups or immunizations'. Do we have shitty insurance from Geiko? No... we pay huge money for Blue Cross Blue Shield. Our doctor told us that she doesn't even take her kids to the pediatrician unless they are really really sick. Each year, coverage is less and less and rates go up and up. The US is in a health care crisis. Saving your premium sounds like a good idea in case of emergency, but in our area.. you can't get seen at a doctor unless you are covered. If you are self pay at the ER, you will be sent home earlier. Tylenols are 100 dollars each in the hospital. Bring your own. My son had pneumonia and 4 days in Children's Hospital was $35,000.
Do we need insurance in our industry.. yes and it needs to be good quality so you can see a decent doctor.

yup. im interested

I finally have some health insurance now and it's nice to have. Sort of expensive but worth it. That secure feeling, like Raven said, is worth the money.

I need it

We got our health insurance through the NASE (National Association for the Self-Employed)

My insurance is $145 per month. You have to really shop around.

Having said that, I lived in the UK for 4 years under national health care, and I'll take the US system ANYTIME.

I'd like to set something up something similar, but only for us webmasters :)

fiddy webmasters with no health insurance....need it ; )

You guys, I have a lot of you saying you are interested however you do not have contact info in your sigs. It is important that you email me or ICQ me. My info is in my sig :)

If people don't want it, they don't need to post or view the thread. I'm not interested in people who don't want health coverage.

When I worked at Super Shuttle we did a similar thing.

One of the biggest and sweetest things about doing a group policy is no one can be turned down and there is no 1st year something big happens and we cancel you clause.

So anyone with prior conditions cannot be turned away.

Yeah a group of obese workers should get a good rate !

I would be
 

It would be nice to have.
For sure

Yep, let's form the group. I can get it done!
