Open Enrollment Time

Anyone receive their open enrollment benefits packages from work? I received mine today. 41.9% increase for a family. Went from $446 to $632.

Don't know about fishfighter, but my monthly premium (family) is $1,645/mth--- no health issues either. That equates to 19,720 per year----- shit, that really ruined my day.

My business partner who just turned 60, pays $1,952/mth ($23,424/yr).

Kinda makes you wonder as it relates to the controversial healthcare plan:

What is worse:

The Republican stance of no ideas or solutions

----or---

The Democrats stance of bad ideas and bad solutions.:

Guy's,

that's the problem, they are talking about "making" you buy healthcare insurance. I have my own very small business, I can't afford those kind of premium's. It boil's down to having insurance and being broke (literally) or having a medical problem that makes you go broke. Seriously, I don't see any way to win here. Maybe that's the plan, I don't know. We all talk about recession/recovery, all I see is if you can just keep your head above water, that's just about as good as it get's. Frank
