I and all of my co-workers who signed up for a particular HMO plan at work were royally (messed).

i am so sorry that is happening! how rude of them to treat you like that and how awful for that plan to be changed so much. i have been dealing with healthcare junk myself- because of my old job i just found out last month that i have no insurance (despite the fact that i was paying them checks that they were cashing for cobra!!!)- so i am uninsured which is so scary! you are lucky that you have something at least, right? how awful for them to be treating you like that! shame on them! you do deserve better. in the mean time, do you have a lawyer or know someone who is one? it seems to me that there is something legal you guys could do. or if everyone is upset, is there a union or could you talk as a group to someone who could help change things? i assume they would have to do something if they were risking losing all of their employees! well, i hope you get something figured out. good for you not letting them get away with it. good luck!

Yes, I agree with VG...it seems like the employees might have some bargaining power somehow if they all have this horrible insurance plan...but I'm not sure how it works there. Maybe this will be a good opportunity for you to find a job you like better...I can imagine how incredibly frustrating it must be to find out news like that! Good luck!

Hugs,

Good job Ladyirish! My job was the same way. I wanted to leave so bad! Then when my husband had a car accident they replaced me so fast it wasn't funny! I had to nurse him back to health. He was in the Truama Unit for 7 days. My boss, who is a priest didnot come to the hospital or call! A jerk. I worked there 8 years and that's the thanks I got. You are right polish up that resume and get out. Sometimes I wonder about this world, how bout you?
