Sparky:
My health insurance (Blue Cross Traditional) only for me, is +/- $1500.00 a quarter. It will increase after 1/1/03, as I hit the 55 plateau. Guesstamate is 1800/2000 qtr.
It's good coverage, not an HMO/PPO, etc.
My wife has her own coverage, as she has a carear.
I offer the same coverage to my employees, paying 50%, with them paying the balance.

Used to be the ins. co. "made out" from me, as I rarely used the coverage, but 2 12 years ago, I had a heart problem. (Irregular rapid heartbeat) and they have been picking up the tabs.

It's a $300 deductable, with 80% of the first 10K. The prescriptions are "discounted" and I get a 80% re-imbursement of the cost.

Healthcare is a MAJOR Expense, and getting more costly by the day.
