Yikes!!!  It sounds like you are all paying through the nose for your health
insurance...

I get my bcbs through a company I used to work with in MD for something like
200/mo.  It sounds to me like a bargaining collective is needed to drive
down all of your insurance costs.  I know I most certainly don't cost the
health insurance companies 24k/yr, and I'm not even paying that much in
comparison to you guys...

Though I'm not really shopping for health insurance at the moment, I would
be interested in seeing how to set up a health insurance co-op of sorts that
could help beat this fat industry down to size.  How many people would be
interested in this?

Hi,

Having received my April invoice from Harvard Pilgrim yesterday that showed
a 14% increase for the year which takes my insurance  to over $400/month for
coverage for just one person, I called my broker and asked about the Health
Savings Accounts that I had heard were coming.  They told me Harvard Pilgrim
was just introducing one, but the cost of it for me would be over $500 a
month!  Don't mean to be discouraging, but apparently the pricing on these
isn't going to be any more affordable, although perhaps the coverage is
better.
