It Just FIGURES (Medical Insurance)

May 21st, 2006

On the way to class on Saturday, I told Kathy how now that I've paid almost my calendar year out-of-pocket maximum with Health Net medical insurance, the next thing they are sure to do is raise my rates.

When we arrived home in the late afternoon, the letter from Health Net was in the mailbox. My rates go up 15% on July 1st. Gosh, thanks, Health Net!

I'll be cancelling that insurance very soon. I know that means that I risk never being able to get self-employment medical insurance again (now that I have a cancer diagnosis on record) but I can't afford $4000/year or whatever it will be for secondary insurance. And sucky secondary insurance, at that.
