Health Insurance for RPT's?

[John M. Formsma]

Joel,

 

Thanks for passing on this information. Guess it's time to write our
senators.

John, Mark, & List, 

I emailed PTG and the attached is the reply comment
on your health insurance questions. The House 
evidently thinks it is a good idea, but the Senate is
not yet ready. 

Perhaps a contact with our local Senators would 
be worth our time.

Joel,
There has been no notable progress in getting the senate to pass the
legislation necessary to offer health care that crosses state lines for
groups such as associations.  I've watched the AHP bills for several years.
The House has passed several versions of the same bill but Senate holds them
up every time.  They seem to get stuck in committee and never make it to the
floor for a vote.  I'll keep watching and report any new developments as
they come along.  Feel free to share this information as you see fit.

Barb, 

In case you don't have enough administration duties the addition
of health insurance would be welcomed by these techs. :-)

Just thought I would add this to your Monday Musings. 

Keep in Tune.

I was wondering this as well. I don't really know how group insurance works.
I'm assuming it's cheaper to the employee because 
1) there are more people paying premiums which reduces the risk to the
insurance company
2) the employer/corporation pays part of the premium as an incentive to
working there.

Anyone know if about this, or if group insurance is feasible for PTG
members?

I wonder whether some or all of the members of PTG could band together 
and get group coverage for less?
