Our company uses one of these services, from a company that claims it's one of the largest in the nation. And let me tell you, $759 a month is not an affordable insurance premium for a family of 3. And that's the cheap, high-deductible insurance. The "standard" coverage insurance is $100 more. And it goes up ~15% every year without fail, while at the same time lowering coverage. Hell, 3 years ago when we moved to this company, it doubled our premiums and lowered our care. That level of increased cost and decreased coverage is unacceptable and at the same time unavoidable. Right now there aren't any other options. We need something that will provide competition to the insurance companies and drive these premiums down. The current bill may not be the answer, but at least someone is finally asking the questions.
