There is not much good to say about medical insurance. When I was in my mid 20's I remeber passing on medical Insurance. Now, I don't have that option. Medical Insurance is as much, if not more , to protect your lifes savings and holdings as it is to pay for medical procedures. I would be wiped out if my wife or I needed to go to the hospital.
Tully's right about the insurance companies, some years its Blue Cross, some years its Health Net, they all keep playing with the numbers, and they all are increasing yearly.
In my Company we do a 50/50 on employees only. We also have what is known as a Cafeteria Plan which allows everyone to pay med. insurance with your gross earnings, not your net earnings which saves about 30 % annually on that taxable income.
Now if you really want to get everyone POed, lets talk about Social Security!
