My husband company's insurance is going up 20% also. What pisses me off is that besides the insurance premium going up, so is the copayment and the deductible for any hospital care.

SHIT!!!! Don't EVEN get me started with this subject. Creeps is too good a term for them. I'm thinking of moving in with Margi or even Ueli or Svenn.
Dealing with these piranas makes me want to head for the Zoloft.

........which reminds me of they guy who broke his toe at work and his claim was denied because the fact that he had a toe was considered a pre-existing condition.

This is one subject that does piss me off. I'm self employed and must buy my own insurance. I fell like I'm funding a small country with what I pay. Can't go shopping for insurance because if I could get insured with another company there is that wonderful pre-existing shit and I wouldn't be covered for shit. The only thing I can do now is every time they raise rates, it happens at least once a year, I will raise my deductable.
Fuckin' insurance ass holes, lets poke their eyes out!!!

Wow. That is horrible. I'm screwed!!!
Hope my husband doesn't divorce me anytime soon, and doesn't lose his job!
I am sick of just paying co-payments here, there and everywhere. Guess I should be happy I have insurance at all.
Feeling very grateful at the moment...Little Deb

I'm with ya guys. 
I probably only have insurance because the plan is through The Chamber of Commerce and they had some idea that I was an employer. It just happened to be a damn good plan at the time. It's a Community Blue thing. Certainly epilepsy is a pre-existing condition. I've gotten them to come around on two small denials anyway. Big deal.
Something like 6 months ago, they decided that my Lamictal was too expensive for them to cover so they cut their part of the co-pay to almost nothing. The bastards. I was just about to write another letter but it looks like someone beat me to it. It's back. I'm not the only epileptic who would have big trouble paying for his drugs. Some nasty stuff out there.
Gee, you don't suppose their raising the insurance premium about $150 a quarter had anything to do with their coming around, do you?  It's getting pretty close for me kids. Medical insurance is now my largest single expense.
