Has anyone tried to get group insurance or seen if anyone is interested in it,maybe with all going together we could find a carrier,spouse lost job now looking, very expensive on your own,even an afflack or something.
I assume you are talking Health Insurance, If so, with Corporate’s approval years ago, I looked into this very subject.
What I found out was, the bottom line we are to small. All the companies told me that they could not sell across certain State Lines. Not sure if that is true, but it is what they told me. How does GE or Dupont buy Health Insurance for all of their employees around the world?
With all the talk about health care reform going on right now you would think this problem would be addressed. I want government out of health care as much as possible but I think it is silly that states do not allow small groups to co-mingle across state lines and buy insurance together. I am no expert but it is my understanding that in order for businesses across state lines to buy health insurance together they have to fall into the large business classification which rules out about 95% of all U.S. based business.
I think you are correct. At least that’s what I was told. I could not agree more with your statement about Gov. health care, but I sure would like to see us be able to go across state lines for quotes. Also they take your premiums until someone gets sick and then they don’t want you or double your costs. Something called pre existing condition. That needs to change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
