Yeah, we had people drop it. It also forced people to stop contributing to their 401K. I told our Director of human Resources that the loss of productivity, due to moral being dropped several notches, is going to cost the company more money in the long run. All I got was a blank stare...  :dunno

That's the type of jump that makes people have to drop coverage.  Blech.  I'd hate to see that happen here in MA - we aren't allowed to drop health coverage.  Being without health insurance is punishable by a heavy fine come tax return time.

I had no idea.  My health coverage also went up. the prescirptions when up & went from 0 deductable to $500.00.  Every year the premium goes up & insurance covers a little less

You will.  The current pres and congress are watching it closely and want to roll it out as the eventual "national health care" solution.

My benifits are/have changing drastically. New co-pay new priemiums...our Union and the management have been deadlocked for over a year. now a temp soulution has been imposed upon us untill a real contract is negotiated. The state had to prod the negotiations so that theywould go back to the table...it got BAD. :(

Good news is that I have a job...cant say the same for many of my friends...lots of layoffs.  Those that had houses are now under water and those who prieviously rented just bought bargains. Mixed bag. We'll see what the future brings.

JMB:
On the plus side with my 401k tanking and my home value dropping I will have to give my cheating wh@re wife less in the divorce.  Got to love living in a no fault state.  :angry:
