Webmaster Union / Health Isurance ... repost? - GoFuckYourself.com

goBigtime · 11-22-2002, 02:27 PM

A couple three weeks ago someone posted the link to this Media group you could join if you made more than $5000 in the industry....

I thought the subject was something to do with *webmaster union* .. but I guess I was wrong.

Could someone repost the link to that place?

Thanks

Found it.. it's www.media-alliance.org

I called the brokers office, sounds like its ~$200/mo for insurance through the group depending on which plan or whatever. A little higher than individual plans, but guranteed acceptance through the group.

So if your a sick self-employed webmaster who needs to get insurance & you can't on your own - this seems to be a way to do it.

All unions do is guarantee that the lazy-ass piece of shit employees get treated as well as the productive employees.

Using "union" is a poor choice of words in this case. As most webmasters are self-employed, who would play the down-trodden taken-advantage-of union webmaster, and who would pay the hard-ass just-trying-get-their-lazy-asses-to-work boss?

Interesting...is it an HMO, PPO etc.?

Hmm...my wife has a lot of health problems so I'm paying $365 a month for her insurance...$200 would be a bargain.

I only pay like $60 a month for my insurance since I'm a young, healthy guy.

I buy individual health insurance and honestly it's pretty cheap, only like $119/month. It's HMO but all of my doctors are on "the list" and the coverage is great. Not a big expense as far as I'm concerned.

Just my

Marc, while you do offer that insurance for webmasters and it's great, it doesn't allow for webmasters like myself (who push your program) with "pre-existing conditions" such as Diabetes and/or high blood pressure to sign up for it. Perhaps this is why you haven't had "as many as should" sign up. Just a thought.
