Wake Up to the Reality of the Stimulus Package

I can’t say it any better, so here’s 6 minutes of wonderfully presented, passionate logic.

    Because I left my company September 1st, I was left paying $706/mo for COBRA – ALL of it.

    After doing this for 5 months, we realized that I was actually making less money working from home for higher salary than I was at the office 25 miles away, so I guess that was fine since I chose to left.

    What sucked was when the company, or essentially person, for whom I left a secure, gov’t contract job to work for decided to ditch me I had no choice but to begin working for myself the next day or look for a job, earn no money while doing so, and run our savings to nothing.

    We have since changed to a HIPAA-guaranteed individual policy for $860 and are looking at the possibility of getting an HSA-eligible plan with no underwriting or pre-existing condition clause for tax benefits.
