Curious about how many of you have med/health insurance? If you do, how good is the coverage? costs? Do the expediting companies offer good discounts on the insurance they offer?

LOl...just don't use the VA's in Illinois. Unfortunately thay have a bad rep for spending little as possible on vets. Poor treatment.

Private medical/health insurance is so freaking expensive. It would be nice to have. Curious if people have it or how much they are paying for it.

I have rather excellent insurance but only because my wife works for a major university and not an expediting company. I am hoping the new health care reform thing makes it possible for many/most truckers to gain insurance at a reasonable price.
I shall sit back now and watch (with great amusement) the flames fly high since I've gone and mentioned health care reform. :eek:

Nah won't flame you but it just won't help the people who are working.

I too am in the same situation, my wife works for the university and it has good health care. I had no health care and survived with some serious issues so anyone can live without it if they want.

The problem with a lot of truckers is they don't take care of themselves, so their problems are amplified because of that fact.

Ur probably to busy to believe this too.
