We have a PPO, too. But compared to our old PPO (when I worked for the local municipality) it's sucky. We pay A LOT more now than we did before.

I don't pay anything except $15 copays in most situations.

Went straight from an HMO to an HSA. Company made no contribution. Basically, we pay for everything right now until we hit 4k.

That sucks. We have HSA here but it's an option... and if you opt to choose it the company contributes 1K. Then again, if we choose HSA we pay everything until we hit 5k so I guess it's just as sucky...

Once you've made your contributions, and your account is "full" they're not bad unless something major happens. The upside is the savings each month.

Man...when I started at SNET, I had Connecticare HMO. Full coverage. Didn't cost me one cent. The last year they offered it (2003, I believe) it cost me $360 a month. Now we're back to less than $100 a month, but we get creamed if another injury occurs. :sad:

Jeebus! I guess you weren't kidding when you said they were the evil axis...

Had my first pool session today. Lots of kicking of the legs while floating and walking funny in the water. Didn't think it was doing much, but when I got out my knee did feet a lot better. The therapist was pretty cute too, but she wasn't in a swim suit.

She'll be impressed when you show her some re-hab tricks like this one...
