I was surfing around looking for people who had blogged about the IIW. I found this post by Sean Coon about Health Insurance. He had this lovely quote to start the post off: “If you’re self-employed, demand a really good health plan. and if your boss won’t listen, quit. That’ll show yourself.”
Just this week I got the letter from my health insurance company saying that my health insurance would go up to $570 a month from $430. I shifted age brackets and it is just that time of year when fees go up. I can’t really get insurance on the market cause I am ‘uninsurable’ I am stuck in this plan. I feel lucky that I make enough money (at least right now) that I can absorb the increase. This cost is why millions of American’s don’t have health insurance.

We switched from Secure Horizon to Banker’s Life Insurance company in December 2008 and signed cosent forms that supposed to change my primary insurance from Horizon to medicare starting Jan of 2009. It did not transfer due to their mistakes and now we are sitting on medical bills. Bankers Insurance does not care and they simply ignore repeated attemps to resolve this. They already took well over 1600 dollars of our monthly payments and the medical bill that we are sitting on is about 1000 dollars. They should just pay for this. They are taking away $400 dollars from us each month. This is awfully unfair.
