In these days of sequestration looming, in the defense world, what do you guys think of working for an insurer? I’ve seen a few things in my niche at a couple of Blue Cross type places, are they in a fairly safe growth mode for now or do we expect that all to grind to a halt soon.
BTW my wife went Stage 4 earlier this year with Mets to the spine. My company plan went to this excruciatingly high-deductible type plan where our max out is now 9000 on top of about 5k in premiums and of course you do get nickle-dimed on stuff. Seems like I always make just enough to avoid deducting medical expenses, but with all the gas and tolls to MD Anderson downtown, it takes a toll.
The thing is my youngest is 16 now entering his Jr. year and she’s going to fight as long as she can she wants to see him graduate, much like the post above. The worst thing is she’s continued to work but we are looking at how she can opt out of that. Certainly if another Bone Met comes along she’s got to file for disability and get out of there. (her working pays for the child’s HS however).
Anyway I see some insurers out there are ramping up in my area. Kind of tempting but I don’t know what the future holds with them. Single Payer would of course kill them off right?
