I'm optimistic. Unlike a small car or even a truck, there is space all over the place. They really drop the ball on the design of these chassis. Soooooo much wasted space, it's incredible. I mean what car can you fit between the front wheels and the engine, or between the transmission and the firewall, etc. You can on this thing.

It just doesn't make any sense how they can say the policy costs $500 a month when I was able to find plans privately for 1/3 of that price that had better coverage.

I am not a registered voter but I will be this time around.

I am not sure if the math but if you go with your companies plan you pay for the monthly premium pre-tax. When you go private plan you are paying for it post tax.

It sounds like your employer did a bad job shopping around for insurance plans. It just doesn't make much sense.

I think you can write off insurance premiums on your taxes if you purchase privately.

My employer shouldn't do a bad job shopping for insurance since we are only one of the biggest companies for cost management for insurance companies LOL... but I have little faith so they probally did do something stupid.

i am basing this on what i saw happen at our company over the past few years. my premium has gone up maybe $45 a month over the past few years. but if you were an employee adding their spouse the cost went up a whole lot. they also stipulated that if your spouse is covered by their employeer you could not have then on our companies plan.
