Insurance companies kill me...Right now we have the crappiest coverage ever - our premium is something in the neighborhood of $700 a month (that's for my guy, me, and our daughter) and on top of that, a $200 monthly deductible if we do need to see a doctor. Plus, the coverage sucks! The most shocking thing is that this next insurance year, the premium is expected to rise another 40-50 percent and the coverage is supposed to be lessened. At this point, we're considering dropping the insurance altogether because of the cost. At present, the premium plus deductible ends up being almost a third of our monthly income --- umbelievable that insurance companies can get away with this! Vote for change!!
