ReplyDeleteI've always purchased my own health insurance. I feel my employers duty was only to just give me a job-period. Plus I'm fiecely independant and that employee group insurance stuff didnt' and doesn't suit me. Thank you very much but I will choose my own plan to suit me and I'll pay for it myself. I'm not a group I'm my own person and I know what suits me and no one will tell me otherwise.

It's excellent coverage. I've not ever paid anything out of pocket and it offers alot of yearly/biyearly tests such as EKG that I don't even use.
