Article author needs to think before writing!

This is a rediculous title! This article that has nothing whatsoever to do with "America's Best Health Insurance Plans! This author needs to wake up!

Nice...

This article is more on what has happened and will continue if nothing is done.

cobra?

Last fall when I was laid off I was informed by the insurance company that if I wanted to take advantage of COBRA that it would cost me just under $1000 per month, for single coverage. My unemployment is $1500 per month. COBRA? what a joke!

This is about health care

Blue Cross cheated me because I had a paid for insurance.

So what do you think about that. It ticks me off, I had a bill

for over $200 and they paid a whole $1.74

Blue Cross-Blue Shield

I never had to pay except for after my husband died, I received

a letter from Blue Cross and they informed me that is of

August 9, 2005 (the day John died) that I had to pay $1000

before they pay anything.

My insurance is a paid up insurance by my husband.

This isn't fair.

Now what do I do????????

terminated employees pay 1/3 insurance through cobra

on top of the fact that i didn't read what i was titled, cobra has the employer pays 2/3 of the employee premium and gets reimbursed by the government quarterly through tax credits(hmmm). so the employee is only paying 1/3 of their premium for the allotted time after termination. not sure who pays the 2% though...

So, where's the part about America's Best Health Insurance Plans?

Maybe you should have used the headline "Free Beer!" That always draws a crowd...

Huh?

The title of this article has nothing to do with the content. The article is titled "America's Best Health Insurance Plans", but the article is about what happens to families when external forces remove the insurance they depend on. Yet another example of sloppy editing in the realm of internet "news".

worthless

another worthless article. Titled " america's best health insurance " and it doesn't give one review or example of a good one. Who writes these! Not one shred of information on which ones to pursue.

Know your plan

I think it's funny when people are surprised with what they have to pay. Most people never even read their plans and are only worried about the small things, such as co-pays for doctor visits. It's funny they only focus on the things that are never in a million years going to bankrupt them. People should be focused on the important things such as catastrophic events that can ruin their lives finacially. People need to read the fine print and understand how bills are paid when claims are filed. Next time you decide to get a new Health Insurance plan, ask questions, you'll be surprised with what you will hear.
