Re: My Medical ins - Premium nearly doubled !!!

Steph:
I hate that it went up on you...it is so hard. I am now off COBRA but thank goodness I live in GA so I could get a conversion policy or else I wouldn't have any coverage at all because of the BC. I am self employed. I pay way too much for a huge deductible; no dental; vision or prescription drug plan (only goes against deductible) but I'm thankful I have some coverage. If I was in active disease, I would need in cash over $10k every year just to meet deductible, premiums and co-pays. Crazy!! My extended family lives in Germany and they can't believe how much we pay.
