Re: OT-PPO's_ Not a sales pitch-Our Co is looking at this.

[Guest guest]

Very interesting to me as I just signed for health ins for my small company

Sept 1. HAD I done it last fall, I'd have coverage for things to do with my

surgery. I missed my chance and now there is nothing in the state (of WA)

available that covers (me) this way for companies with less than 50

employees.

So, I now have an insurance that costs more, covers less in benefits, but

covers nicely what it does cover.

It would be nice to have other options available. I fear WA state is one of

the worst for WLS. And if you're a small company who was not bright enough

to climb on the wagon before it left the state, you simply can't get

coverage for WLS.
