Hello I just had to take out medical insurance since I will be starting a Rn program in the fall. I will be paying 209 a month.

i work for a county owned snf/subacute facility in new jersey. i pay $0. coverage includes everything: medical, dental, and vision. $3/$5 copay for any prescriptions. $5 copay for pcp visit. no deductibles. everything is covered. dental is free, no copay.

Yikes, that seems really expensive! My husband is in the military. $3 copay for each prescription, if not filled on base. Less than $40 for dental for the kids and me. Vision, one exam per year, not including the cost of glasses or contacts.

I'm part time, so I don't qualify for insurance. My DH is on disability, but thankfully he's eligible for his old company's health coverage--for the nominal cost of $500/month. ugh. But what are ya gonna do? We have to have it. We both have chronic illnesses and DS16 is on 3 seizure drugs himself. One uninsured trip to the ER could sink our ship.

my husband pays (family plan per month) $391 medical, $38.36 dental dhmo, $29.70 eye.. Drugs: $0 generic, %30 of total cost for name brand, %50 for non preferred. $20 Copay for PCP, $40 for specialty, %20 for lab/x-rays AFTER deductible. I do like not having to have a referral for specialty. I don't like my husband has to take Byetta and it costs about $130 a month. (not TOO bad considering what I have seen others pay for their meds)

I am faculty at a public ADN program in CA. It's a unionized position. I pay nothing for my medical, but pay 100% of the premium for my family (about $800 a month!) for an HMO. That does not include vision and dental. That is another $200 a month or so. Unionized public employee unions really vary and mine is expensive. Last year my son was hospitalized for a spontaneous pneumo. That was about $60,000 in bills 100% covered. This year I found out in my yearly mammo that I had breast cancer. I am 44, healthy with no family history. The bills for that have already topped $100,000 almost fully covered except for a few $15 co-pays. It seems so expensive when you are paying the premiums, but when things come up unexpectedly it seems like a bargain! My husband is self-employed. If we went through him it would be about $1,000 a month just for our medical and that would be a PPO with a $2500 deductible and 80/20 coverage.

Thanks Ashkins--I am doing well. I have had outstanding medical care and was lucky to find it early. Get your mammos ladies!

Quote from Diane-RN in MichiganIs this just for yourself? Or you and family?That makes a big difference.

I'm paying about $225 biweekly for family medical insurance.

I pay almost $400/month for myself and a six year old. Neither one of us has any diagnosed health problems. Deductable, is $7000 for each of us. No dental or vision is included.
