If it makes CC feel any better, my medical insurance is $826 per month, just for me.  My cobra (when I had it) was a little cheaper but not much.  My medical insurance actually went down from $914 last year 

I'd kill for a government (city or otherwise) job but they are hard to get around here.  It's who you know not what you know.  Not to mention I'm older than dirt and nobody wants to hire an old dusty broad 

We are self employed and pay over $1500 per month for ours . . . . And the good news is that it will go up because of the penalty we have to pay with Obama care because it is considered to be "gold" insurance that we and our employees are eligible for. And we have a $1500 per hospitalization deductible!

$1500 per hospital deduction is low IMO

Wow - until this year we had a $500 and were good with that. I guess it seems high when a good portion of our employees have zero deductible with medicaid and do not pay a dime in premiums.

It is aggravating isn't it TBM. I know a lot of the girls at the Pet Lodge have their children on Chips, because they make minimum wage and can't afford to cover their kids on the health insurance offered at work. But at least these girls work 40 hours plus a week and aren't on Medicaid themselves.

Well my hospital deductable is 1500 (and has been since GWB was in office) and my premiums are $826 per month but I'm paying for a PPO. My premium of $826 is for me alone not me and my husband or family.  If I wanted to join Kaiser and get a different primary care doctor I could do it much cheaper using Kaiser. I have friends that actually RAVE about our local Kaiser hospital and it's doctors.  So your employees income is so low they also qualify for Medicaid in your state and use it as a secondary or primary along with your group "gold" plan?  

Most of our employees refuse to work full time - and most work for minimum wage. They never want to work full time because they would lose their food stamps and cash benefits. Add to that the fact that most of them have multiple children by multiple men that do not pay child support, they all get medicaid. Even though we only charge them 40 ever two weeks to get insurance, they see no reason to do so when they get it "free" from the government. So only us, and a few of the employees actually invest in real insurance. Sad I know, but true. Remember too, that "gold" means that the plan pays 80% of your claim. And remember that most of the big chain restaurants have exemptions. Being a small restaurant that is not a chain, we pay the penalty.

TBM, I applaud you and your husband being small business owners. Sad you work hard for a living and can't get a break like the big  companies can.

Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo, an AWOL soldier from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, was arrested by the Killeen Police Department near Fort Hood and remains in custody there. Authorities, however, will not say if Abdo is the one who raised security concerns.

I tried 'eggies' last night to boil eggs...you break the eggs into the eggies which are egg shaped and boil them in water like normal...no egg shells to peel off the eggs! worked really well...have not tasted them yet..making egg salad later today...
I hate trying to peel hard boiled eggs so this is a great invention..

  I want... I want... I want one!!!!!!! My family always wants me to make deviled eggs for events and I hate peeling them. May have to find one but I gave my recipe to my sister so she makes them now. Maybe I will let her continue on.

  Oh, just watched it Cookie, gotta get me some of those. I hate peeling eggs, they always cut my hands. I remember there was some kind of egg peeler one time I saw on tv and told my mom I wanted it for Christmas or I wouldn't make deviled eggs ever again. She didn't get me one and I don't make deviled eggs

Thanks to everyone for your prayers.

She is eating today and feeling a little stronger.  She is a real trooper.
