Because I am self-employed, I have private health insurance. Each year about this time, the monthly premium is "adjusted", which usually means increased. Given the meteoric rise in health care costs and given that I have had some minor heart issues the past couple of years, I have been expecting the worst, but hoping for something better than the worst. The worst - health insurance canceled. Better than the worst - health insurance not canceled.
Today I got the letter from the insurance company. First of all, my insurance was not canceled. {Doing a little dance} Second of all, and this is why I am shocked, my monthly premium actually went down. Yes, DOWN. Not by much, but down by about 6%.
Holy shit! (Excuse me!) There may be help for us yet. And then again, tomorrow may bring another letter saying "oops, we made a mistake."
Time will tell, but right now I am happy!

ReplyDeletePlease take good care of your heart... and yes, your mouth. Gum problems can cause many internal health issues I heard.
Get to the dentist and just be happy you can afford it. :)
