My girlfriend works for a small non profit here in San Francisco (5 employees). They just got the updated details for their health plan for 2010. Premiums went up slightly but, for the same plan, check out the changes: Deductible (Ind./Family) - 2009 $1,500/$3,000 2010 $2,000/$4,000 Out of pocket max. - $1,500/$3,000 $3,500/$7,000 MRI,PET,CT - $0 $50 Emergency - $0 $100 Ambulance - $0 $100 Outpatient Surgery - $0 $100 Hospital Care - $0 $300/day Prescription Co-pay - Generic - $0 $10 Brand name - $0 $30 UFB. It looks like they are getting a whole lot less coverage for MORE money. They don't have the time, staff or expertise to research options. What a screw job.
