My premium costs aren’t really for a public forum…but they’re not terrible – at least not for the HSA or the HRA that’s also offered by my company…The PPO premium is outrageously ridiculous.

For all the crap my company gets from its employees, I can definitely say that they did their best with the cards they were dealt by Anthem…I mean, I have 3 plans to choose from!

How much are your premiums?

Oh and I played Commander Keen as well.

The problem with the health insurance industry is that there’s no cost transparency. If you go in for a procedure there’s no telling how much it will cost! You go, and then pay whatever the hell they tell you to!

In theory, health savings accounts are good, especially in terms of the tax benefits, but people still get screwed all the time. I’m all for it – if I could see what I’m buying when I need it, but I can’t.
