    How many of you have medical insurance and how much do you have to pay for it?

    One of the big expenses of being an o/o is having medical insurance just in case something bad happens.

    I have seen premiums of 500.00 plus per week for family coverage and am aware that some carriers will offer discounts on this.

    Of course some of you may be covered by your spouses insurance which means you do not have to pay anything but this is for the guys that do purchase insurance.

    It would be interesting to see how much you pay and what that equates to on a cpm basis.

    I am not an O/O. All the ones that I know have wives that work for a co and that is how they get insurance.
