Health insurance
Can anybody give me the range a guy with a family of four might pay for healthcare? It was mentioned on another thread that PSA is using a new company and the health insurance is significantly worse than before. Can someone please explain this?

They just announced that they are working with additional hospital companies in the Charlotte area to expand the network coverage, since it is our largest base.
It costs about $162/paycheck to cover a family on plan B.

What happens in the meantime, while your claim is denied? Do you have to pay out of pocket and hope that PSA reimburses you?

Unfortunately, no matter where you work, or apply for work, this will likely be the case. I just talked to a friend of mine that works in state government. Their monthly premiums just went up to where they're only about $60 less a month than yours, and they're starting to face the same issues with coverage complications. This isn't an issue exclusive to PSA. My thought is that if it can happen to state employees, it can happen to anybody.
