Here is the survey we sent out last summer. Please take a few minutes and complete it and we will look at renewing the WISPA effort to build a group insurance plan.

I talked with the local BCBS office about the WISPA group and she said they'd look into it. I gave them contact information but I don't think much will come of it. Hey, it was worth a 15 minute conversation! I talked with Barb from Insperity this morning, nice lady, but it doesn't sound like she can do much for firms with less than seven employees. We have 3, could stretch to 4 if I count the wife. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Travis Johnson <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:45:30 -0700 >Single females vs. single males, both age 20, cost double per month. > >Travis >Microserv > >On 2/7/2012 2:29 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: >> 20 year old single males are so healthy because their diet consists >> of Red Bull, Slim Jims, beer and Skoal, and they get 2 hours of sleep >> at night. >> And you said males not females why, because of the cost of >> mammograms, or contraception?
