Your Not Sick Are You?

Posted under How I See It, Wife

My wife and I just spent the last three hours going over insurance options and it wasn’t pretty.  HMO’s, PPO’s, basic, standard, premium.  Deductibles, co-insurance, co-pays. 

 

Arrgh!!!  My head hurts and there isn’t enough alcohol in the house to help.

 

There is not only the wife and I but we have three teenage daughters to keep insured as well.  One of them is type one diabetic.  Do you know what the cost is for insulin?

 

I think insurance companies purposely confuse us with the many options and varied coverage’s that they offer.  It never seems that you can compare apples for apples in these plans.

 

And to put icing on the cake, the company I work for may or may not retain my services.  They are offering me a chance at insurance, but they might be canning my ass by the end of next week.  So this three hour excursion into blowing my brain up could all be for naught if I’m not retained.

 

So here are to you the global insurance companies and your confusing benefit plans.  Here’s to your high premiums and even higher deductibles.  Soon you will find that you can’t bleed a turnip.  No matter how hard you try…
