I love your blog!

Thanks for the insurance info, Kathy. I’ll put something up tomorrow about it. It’s important stuff for us to share. The rates are so freaking expensive everywhere that any decent deal’s worth repeating!

You really make a writer dig deep and think 😉

I anticipate the next post!

Keep us busy dreaming and planning!

I have prescription coverage (even though I don’t currently take any prescriptions), which I didn’t have with my previous policy, and my rates have not gone up in well over a year. (Now that I’ve said that, no doubt they will!) With my former provider, rates went up like clockwork every six months. Aetna is not available in all states, but if it is in yours (I know it is in yours, Lori. ;o)), I think it’s worth checking out.

Tomorrow’s post has mention of other things too, such as retirement savings.

If anyone has a decent healthcare provider or plan, please let me know so I can help spread the word!

The cost of insurance for freelances is ridiculous, and yet, we can’t be without health care. So whatever percentage of each check needs to go towards health insurance has to figure into that nut, gosh darn it.

I’d rather be working towards the house on the beach than supporting my local, useless insurance company.
