Well hey there, but I think that people should stay in school like teachers say, because it would really be harder on a certain person who quits a job or loses one or something, I say this because without a good job you can hold on to or even wait til your of age of retirement people are going to have a lot of issuse, plus I think they also need to lower they insurance and stuff for everyone so many people get good coverage and such. But thanks for listening to me talk....BYE!!!!

Great article,
It is very important for everyone to have health insurance.If you don't have insurance and you have to go to hospital, you'll have to pay over $20,000.That happened to a friend of mine.I know a site that offer the cheapest possible price for health insurance, free quotes and a lot of benefits.

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!

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

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!

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

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????????

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...

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

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".
