Not a good day

So I knew it would suck when i found out it was the annual enrollment for health insurance

Medical costs are going up about 18% annually.
This is ridiculous.

My insurance went up 30%. I'm now paying $366/mo. Thank goodness the school picks up the rest of the $925 it costs to insure me and mine.

The words "Disease Management Program," in combination with singling out the people who had cost the program the most, frighten me. It sounds a bit like veiled euthanasia. A slight substitution in the medication, and the person dies...


Had to use the end of my savings to bail out the checking.
Augh!

And that means I have to work late.
Another hour.

A zen attitude is definitely needed on days like this. That, and a good bottle of Corellian whiskey *g* Hands it over...

Our medical/insurance industry needs a major overhaul, that's for sure. $1300 a month for family coverage - and even then you probably still have a $500/person, $1500/family deductible. We're all losers in the end.

Sucks to have to use up the savings, doesn't it? :(

Thanks. The whiskey ALWAYS helps.
Chocolate helps too.

My husband's insurance is only about $700/mo, but his employer only payes $100 of it.
Mine is about $900 but my employer pays over $500 of it.
And my HMO has better/closer/more doctors


It all depressed me so much i went to bed at 8 PM. 10 hours sleep sure makes the world look brighter.
