Oh this is unreal.

I was just informed by BCBS that, because I have back problems, health 
insurance through them will cost me $1,396 a month. 

Yes--a month.

Plus, I would have to wait 12 months for any coverage to take effect. While 
I'm still paying almost $1400 a month. No coverage for 1 year, for the low, 
low price of $16,800. Ironically, that's how much the back surgery I need 
costs. Looks like I'm paying for that crap out of pocket after all.

I am stunned. I would say that I'm speechless, but that's pretty much an 
impossibility.

Thanks a lot, BCBS. Thanks a lot for the zero health care reform, U.S. 
Government. Thanks for taking such good care of us all!

Beth
