Benefits and Things

I've gotten a few letters recently from my consulting company asking me to sign up for the "benefits" that the company offers. Since I left the Peace Corps around this time last, I'm one of the 40 million of so Americans with no health coverage, so I was curious.

I wanted to get a better understanding of the coverage, but there's no description or brochure that outlines the various options, just a list of choices with the accompanying prices. M'Kay.

Right at the top under Medical Options is UHC Choice Plus Platinum. The cost is $129.74. Sounds like a good deal, right? Then you realize that the cost is per week, not per month. How is that a benefit again?

Goodness. That is really high. You company needs to negotiate better rates for its employees.
