My health plan is good in that I have $0 co-pay, $750 deductible (always met, as you can imagine) and $500 health reimbursement account. Oh, and an out-of-pocket maximum that's pretty low too, something I always meet before the end of the year.
My old vision plan was great, but I'm off it now since I'm unemployed and have very little need for opticians. The dental plan I'm still on, just because, is okay (and now that I think of it, is part of the ~$500 I mentioned above)--I end up paying $14/cleaning out of pocket.

"We'll have a surge in the summer, but that's not an escalation."

Sue - it is insane! Without the insurance my meds would be too expensive. There's no generic for 2 of them and I don't think there will be a generic any time in the future. Heck, half the time I go to get a refill I find out they are out of one because it's so popular.

Megan, did I do that? I'm sorry. That would be my distracted typing.
No, it was my evil twin Cindy. But, of course, she edited to make me look craxy.
David, I read an article that was on Yahoo where a senator complained about Pelosi and Democrats using the term "surge" in a statement they released because "surge" was partisan. I'm pretty sure the President used that but I guess once the President's handlers decide on a new word to use instead of "debacle" the old word suddenly is liberal and America hating.
I'm working on turning around this depressing pie day by listening to music that could turn me gay.
music that could turn me gay.
kd lang? Melissa Etheridge? Or is that just my musical Kinsey scale?
