having like 20+ insurance options is actually a huge pain in the ass bcse you have to wade through the mire to figure out which one is REALLY the best fit.

this is my first world problem of the day.

Oh no I have too many options

That is literally not a first world problem

dkronfeld : it kind of is. TOO Many insurance op[tions?

Hmm, I don't know though. I'd rather just have healthcare and private insurance be an add-on, but it is what it is here in the US. Still, I am glad you have options! Options are so much better than none.

Jacob starts his new job in Denver and they sent over his benefits package to look at before he starts. They have insurance through the same company (UnitedHealthCare) that I have our insurance at, and he's still on mine. So now we get to compare if the new one would give him the same coverage and the difference in price. Then decide if he wants to just stay

on mine or pay for his own. Supposedly he can have other insurance and it won't effect his coverage - at least that's what my package says, but I'm not sure if that works if he has 2 separate policies with the same company. What a pain.

Sorry for hijacking your plurk... dammit. lol

I think what Dave is saying is that we are the only 1st world country with this type of problem. Other countries have health insurance as a given.

ah well...he's mocking our status. I WILL KILL HIM.

anyway most of the plans are some high deductible bullshit or they cost 600 per pay period so LOL NO BITCH. it's finding which one in the middle that fits best for two people with serious business health issues.

You're making my case for me

(Qwis is right. You have the best health care in the world, but the way it's made available to the general population is absolutely 3rd world. And that's not really fair to many of the places considered 3rd world)

Our lives are pure tragedy.
