the original topic has been discussed and we are onto bigger and better things, like fshowcars and T70\_Tsi arguing like a bunch of 12 year old girls. 😃 I’d work for UPMC, decent pay and good benefits. I’m paying close to $500/month for healthcare now, and it’s shitty ass blue cross healthcare. ---

I’m paying close to $500/month for healthcare now, and it’s shitty ass blue cross healthcare. I had to get my own policy as well, the company I work for doesn’t offer insurance until you have worked there for 6 months. The company before them wanted $90 a week to get insurance! I pay $126 a month for just myself. $1000 deductible, but they will cover doctor visits and some things before you meet the deductible. ---

The company before them wanted $90 a week to get insurance! I pay $126 a month for just myself. $1000 deductible, but they will cover doctor visits and some things before you meet the deductible. i’ve moved jobs 2 times in the past 3 years and they all gave me that BS that they could not cover me for a certain amount of time. I gave them the “either cover me or start the hiring process over” line and they all covered me from day 1. There is no way in hell I am getting the COBRA coverage for my family, last time I checked it was over $1000 a month. ---

I have golden rule through united health care, their rates are pretty reasonable. Might want to check them out instead of what you have now. [http://www.goldenrule.com/](http://www.goldenrule.com/) You can cancel your policy whenever you want, and they have short term policies also. Copays are $25 for any doctor, including specialists. No dental or eye coverage, but I did get a discount card for like $3 a month extra. ---
