[TheForge] Re: Health Insurance

[Roger Olsen]

Hello Edgar,

When you say you pay $$600 to a State Health Plan are you saying per
month?    Here in Washington State I pay about that every other month for
a plan that has a $150 deductible.  I would like to change to a higher
deductible and a bit lower premium but right now the company I am with
will not allow any changes in their programs.

An individual shopping for health insurance in our country is really
screwed,  I am not surprised one out of four americans is without health
insurance.  I continue to be amazed our government will not step up to the
plate and come up with some sort of system that works for all our citizens
to have access to affordable health care one way or another.  I realize it
is a complicated issue but to me it is more important than going to the
moon or for that matter even finding bin Laden.

just venting,

Roger Olsen
