health insurance doubled

I just got a notice that my insurance is doubling from $750 a month to $1500.00 a month with double the copays and covering half of what they do now. I don't have a clue what I'm going to do. Get some shoe polish and learn Spanish I guess.

I do not have any health insurance at present. Than k God that I still enjoy good health and I must get in even better shape this roofing season. But I am going to think about the different alternatives as to what type of health insurance that I can get and possibly afford. :)

Copperman, If you belong to the local chamber of commerce or the builders association they can get you much better rates on your health insurance most of the time. That is what we do here.

minnesotaroofin Said: That is fd up -- If that starts happening to much them Ins companies will be shooting themselves in the foot because i for one would support government health care if they tried doubling my rates and covering half no matter how strong i oppose it now. I am sure the support would turn quickly very quickly like overnight if all insurance COs did that. They should be lowering rates enticing us into not needing a public health system --

They did not say it was because of my injury which cost about $5000.00 They said there getting rid of self pay people. You have to be in a group or work for somebody that has insurance. I can get insurance for what I'm paying now but I will lose half my coverage, which means I will have a lot more out of pocket expenses. I got till February 1 2010 to find a replacement. :S

My wife and I pay close to $900 a month for BC/BS PPO with a $2500 per person annual deductible. I dunno, something's got to give here.

The shoe polish should work.

Drop em like a rock! Don't reward their manuvers in an effort to try and prepare for the new laws that will soon take effect!
