Health Insurance cost?
I'm curious as to what health insurance cost are at other carriers. How much do you pay on a monthly basis for your coverage?
I've also posted this in the regional section, but family coverage at SkyWest runs $247-$298mo. for HMO or PPO coverage depending on location (2008 cost).

And to add to that.... since CAL has no insurance provided for the first 6 months, does anyone know if the plan they allow you to purchase for those first 6 months is cheaper than some other companies or Cobra? It would save me some homework. Thanks.

That is unheard of ....no deductable at all? So when you go to the doctor you walk out the door for free and then if you go to the hospital it is ALL covered at 100%?
Mesaba is about 150 per pay X26 pays per year..... Family plan with dental and $20 co-pay at doctor...$500 family deductable. We have cheaper plans but they are HMO's...some like them some do not.

There is a copay, but healthcare still a huge benefit at SWA. Used to be the industry norm everywhere probably, but not anymore.
2008 plan for me will be family health $62.50/mo. with NO deductible. Other options with less monthly premium and a deductible are available.
Copays are $20 regular, $30 specialist and $100 ER
Dental is $21.50/mo for familly. two preventive care visits per year 100% covered. Other treatment 80% covered after $50/person annual deductible.

I'm single, 27, and a non-smoker so your rates may or may not differ. On the website you can click on the upper right hand side of the page for a free quote. Hope that helps! http://www.anthem.com/
