Which is fine really. Current situation is that I have excellent insurance, and my domestic partner (I've been living with my son's father for 19 years. I won't marry him. Long story) has horrible insurance with dependent coverage that would -- maybe -- pay if there were bills over $5K for either of them. However that goes away after the first of the year because he's quitting his part time job to run a small nonprofit corp (no benefits). Meaning I have to add them both, which ... well, even if we went the option figured on the PDF thingy you were pointed to, would be the same as me adding them to my excellent coverage. <br><br>It was actually better to handle the out of pocket for the two of them myself with the huge deductible policy, I spend a lot less than $6K a year that way. But i can't go high-deductible, because I am one of those $1K/month med people (my generic Adderall costs a lot more than yours, maybe because it's 2/day?). And I can't split and pay one kind for them and one for me. And since, technically, I CAN insure them both, I WILL have to. <br><br>Which is fine. I will need to make more money, but by next year, I will, so it's all good. <br><br>While I start looking for jobs in France. Naah, j/k, I wouldn't do that. <br><br>*ahem* anyone want to write me a recommendation on LinkedIn? Even better if it's written in French?
