    One of my friends was there. He said he had 22 trucks in front of him and it only took about 12 hours to get out of there.

    That's quicker than some cold storage warehouses.

    Thought it said the company would absorb the premium increase?. It wasn't clear if we had to re-enroll though

    Amen! And to have to pay out of pocket $3,000 before the insurance ever picks up a dime. Total BS!

    I was told by HR that the big cost increase for UHC was due to people going to the ER when a doctor visit or urgent care would have been more appropriate. No clue if that's a true statement or not, nor do I really care. What I care about is that now I can't afford to have it, much less use it. Now I have to cancel my procedure for 10/4, which was covered at 100% under our old plan, because it's a $3,500 procedure. Can't afford that right now. Heck, I haven't even been making half of what I had been on FMLA.
