CanuckInUSA 0 #26 September 19, 2003 I'd love to take a 6-12 month break from work and just jump my ass off at a DZ. But then I remind myself that taking time off of work would mean quiting my job which would mean no health insurance.

skybaby 0 #27 September 19, 2003 I could not imagine not having insurance. The total cost to date from my accident in June is just over $302,000.00. And I might have one more surgery to go. Cost out of my pocket to date. ZERO.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujie96 0 #28 September 19, 2003 heehee funny. I'm GIGGLING! I have no health insurance. Soon maybe, but HMOs in CA don't seem to cover a flippin thing for the 150 or 200 a month. Perhaps catastrophic coverage is what I should be looking for, everything else I can kind of get at a discount through industry channels if I really want to... Any insurance salespeople here? In CA? Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronnie 0 #29 September 19, 2003 Yes, get some type of insurance. Catastrophic insurance is better than none. Why would a skydiver risk jumping without insurance? I basically have a catastrophic plan through Blue Shield of California. It is $72.00 a month. The deductible is $2,000. I would rather pay $2,000 rather than $18,000 plus. I was just in a serious car accident and spent the night in the hospital after being treated at the Cottage Hospital Trauma ER in Santa Barbara. The bills are just now trickling in and it is going to be expensive! The good thing is that I had full coverage on the truck and part of that coverage was $3,000 toward bodily injury. Thus, I won't have to pay any of my deductible! Get insurance, please! Is saving $72.00 worth a nightmarish headache of bills? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #30 September 19, 2003 Quote$18,000! Do you know how many skydives that is?! Yeah, one if I used the money for a skydive instead of the medical treatment I needed. Of course the funeral, my life insurance would have handled. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juanesky 0 #32 September 19, 2003 I would like to pause for a moment, for something positive yet not related to your thread Chris, it is just a pause, to wish them all mega VIBES for their prompt recovery, even for those who are not able to post today"According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
