Home and Auto What's your current health insurance situation? - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 11-11-2009, 12:00 PM

Just curious. We can reference this as a historical document if the new changes come through.

Let's talk about three groups: you, your spouse (if you have one), and your dependents (if you have any).

I pay nothing for medical, dental and vision for me, my wife and 2 of my kids.

Some other goober who chooses an HDTV and broadband instead of buying insurance? No, I'd rather not pay for him.

I am self employed picking up gigs as a guitarist/entertainer, i can't afford it and HDTV and broadband. So I screwed until obama comes through

600 a month for family of 4.

GloryDayz · 11-11-2009, 02:12 PM

Full family coverage through my employer, but my wife also has coverage through her employer (for just her), so she's double-covered. Total out of pocket for all the coverage per month is $440.

**TrebMaxx** · 11-11-2009, 02:16 PM

There should of been an option "None - My Employer provides Health Insurance but I decline it."

I have insurance through my employer now, but I remember when I was fresh out of school with my first few jobs I declined the HI benefits provided. I just wanted to pocket the few extra bucks myself. I think sometimes young people feel somewhat invincible and are willing to take the gamble on HI.

I have coverage, but the deductable is sooo high that it only applys to catastrophic coverage. Thus, for general health and maintenance it is all out of pocket.

HSA through my work, high deductible.

I'm part of the 2.7% of the board who is insured by divider spaces in poll questions.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 11-11-2009, 02:41 PM

I screwed up. My spouse's employer pays over half of her coverage, but I put that mine did. Sorry.

I voted Part one: (you)

just to be a brat.

Same, except replace "son" with "two daughters".

My wife and I get coverage fully paid through our employer.

Wow, you guys have a great employer! All employers ought to be forced to do that for their employees, don't you think?
