OK Bill... I'm just telling you what the Aetna quote was for Oracle in the 1996 timeframe. They broke out pregnancy and non. I don't know what the company finally went with, since I left the company. I do know it is a weighty option on many plans, I would say if a group is going to force people into a medical condition of any kind then some plans need to be made on who is going to pay for it. PS why don't you and the other member of T cubed go off and play now.... somewhere where they are talking about this massacre or the JFK thread or something...

I pay $239.57 per month for health insurance for my assistant who is 30, single, and covered for pregnancy. No deductible for co-pay visits ($5/$10 co-pay). $250 deductible yearly for major medical. In other words, a Cadillac plan fully funded by my company. A Cadillac plan? Well for $392./mo I get all routine coverage, plus pregnancy AND.... weight loss counseling.... psychology and stress disorders... infertility including artificial insemination and vasectomy reversal... sports medicine... practically free vitamins.... travel vaccines.... I could go on and on here, most plans don't have this AND a discount to the vet for my pets.... Of course all this necesary medical coverage is $152.43 more per month than you pay, and you're right, money matters... your poor assistant, one day she will meet someone who wants to reverse a vasectomy and she'll have to pay through the nose... probably the same week her kitty needs surgery, too. Its a sad story Bill.
