I didn’t see a thread for this so… Our Independant Health numbers just in, up 35% for 2009. 1999 family coverage with $7.00 RX co pay was 316.33/month. 2009 family coverage with $10/$30/$50 RX co pay is $1042.00/month. Edit: Single was $117 in 1999 - 2009 it will be $400. What are NYSPEEDERS paying for coverage? Do you even have coverage? Are you trying to get a government job?:biglaugh: Discuss. ---

Where do you work?(If you don’t mind me asking) We are looking into HSA, HRA and other options because the preliminary numbers look good. We are exploring all of the options at this point. ---

Im at IH… im not in sales but i might as well be some of the I direct plans are good even if you fund the ded in full or even half… say you pick plan 1. comes with a 1100 year single and 2200 fam ded (you pay that) and you make the cost of the plan go to your employee (say 350 month) so yea you are driping thatt 2200 per fam say you have 20 fams to pay for = 44k year now you can set it up where if they dont use all the money you get it back or they get it in a hra/hsa… but 44 is less then what your doing… i will not go to far in the #'s like i said if you want to talk we can ---
