Yes, I do. They take it from your check though, and it's not too comprehensive. They pay good for Doctor's visits, but only about 80% on the medication. The dental and eyes are adequate at best.
If you buy additional Cancer insurance you can sometimes get extra benefits if you have to go through extreme illnesses other than cancer. It all depends on who your provider is.
Good question!

It is tough getting along without health insurance. Some of my prior jobs offered it, but the one I have now does not. My husband has not had health insurance for a while now.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you are both healthy. It is really too expensive to go out and get your own health insurance. Usually the only way you can get a plan at minimal costs would be if you owned a business and you paid for your employees benefits.
Even then the cost of health care is very expensive. Finding a job that has good benefits is nearly impossible these days due to the cost of treatment and medication. Most businesses can't afford it. The ones who could usually don't because they just are concerned with themselves.
I'm sure you heard of the jobs that only let their employees work 30 - 38 hours to avoid paying health care and other benefits.
Keep looking for that dream job. The only other possible chance would be in the 2008 Primary and General Elections. Find a candidate who you feel would work the hardest and you believe would represent your ideology the best, then vote for them. If you are not registered to vote, get yourself and your husband registered and take a stand.
Life is so much better when you are well taken care of. Whoever takes on the role of the next "Father of Our Country" will hopefully want the best health care for their children.

I am registered to vote. I am ready to cast my ballot!!!!

Good girl! Get your husband to go with you to the polls. Discuss the candidates between yourselves. My wife and I weigh all of the possibilities in advance and decide together who would be the best person for the both of us. It's good to be on the same page as your spouse.

I have no job. Cannot find one. Been out of work for 2 years. The state of Maine is providing medical coverage for me.

I have health insurance through my job. I pay $120 a month for that and then I pay separately for dental, cancer and life. My health has a $15 copay to it and is fairly comprehensive - it does include eye exams. My hubby has no health insurance and works for a small company that cannot afford to offer it. I searched to find an "affordable" health plan for him and couldn't. Well, I could if he opted for a $7500 deductible and took an 80/20 policy, but we don't have the first 7500 bucks anyway so he still wouldn't be able to get treatment as most places want your deductible up front. Before I got this job though I had no health insurance either and while interviewing discovered that many places don't offer it.

Scattered,
Can your husband get benefits through your insurance?
Spouses are generally covered, sometimes you have to pay for a family plan.

I know I am voting for Hillary Clinton. Not because she is a woman. My hubby is undecided.

I like John Edwards, he's going to take health care away from Congress if they don't pass a reform bill on healthcare by, I think he said July of 2009.
Hilary is too pro war for me.
Sorry, I don't want this to become a political debate, or try to influence anyone.
Honestly, I will vote for the Democrat candidate in the 2008 election regardless of who it is.

Please remember its your EMPLOYER that tells the insurance company what to offer its employees. There are many options and the employer CHOOSES what to offer the folks, the insurance company then puts the package together. In NY state we have Healthy NY for low income individuals and Child Health Plus for children. These are state funded programs.

wow---I didn't even know that that was possible! I thought all employers had to offer health insurance! Just goes to show how much I still need to learn...

I do. There's a huge deductible ($1,250) for a single person ($2,500 for a family) but the company pays for that, too. The only real bite is the insurance co-pay -- for non-generics, one of which I have to take -- the co-pay is 50%, which is no joke for some drugs.

I graduated college in 2007 with a Master's Degree and haven't been able to get a job. The economy is so crappy no one will hire me because of my degree, they don't want to pay me that much. My husband and I tried paying the 400-500 a month they wanted for us to get it independently but we were honestly responsible for 50% of the cost of everything anyway. So I quit, I would rather pay out of my pocket than give them six grand a year for them to not pay for anything anyway. With the five dollar generics at Wal Mart, so far it hasn't been that bad. A bad accident or horrible illness is the only thing that worries me.

Im a 30 yr old female starting a new job. I have to pick my own plan. Whats best. HMO/PPO..EPO?? Im on no meds, just therapy once a week. Any advice??
