I spent an alarming amount of time yesterday filling out employment paperwork for the new job. I kid you not, the pile of stuff to go through was like 8 inches tall! Anyway, we were able to choose between two health plans. The price difference is only $20 a month, and we figure we would make that up right away since DH is on two Tier 2 meds that cost $10 less per refill on the more expensive plan. Anyway, the information the school gave us didn't have anything about maternity or visits to the gyno. So I went to the website to get a little more info. Well, it looks like the more expensive plan covers 90% and the less expensive covers 80%. The more expensive one has a MUCH lower deductible too. So, that's what we're doing.
But that isn't the part that made me smile. DH and I have always said we want a kid. We've only been married 3 years (4 in September,) and the timing just wasn't ever right. Well, a few times in recent weeks I've mentioned a baby. He's like, we don't have that insurance yet! I always reassure him that I'm not pregnant now. Anyway, I keep saying but next year.... He's good with that. We have a plan! Now this is all assuming we can get pregnant. Who knows. It makes me smile though to know that we are totally on a plan.
So if you see me smiling, now you know why.

Yay for you! It's GOOD to have insurance. I can't imagine not having it with all the inhalers I'm on.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait til you post on the board about being prego! I can't wait til I post on the board about being prego! weeee!
I like your quiet smile. Reading about it gives that sense of things being "right" in the world...or at least in life. And I'm still super stoked about your new job. (Dying to know where, but that's really not relevant!)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have a plan, isn't it! :-)
