    Question about the frig. Does it have a freezer? If so, how often do you have to defrost it? Do you have to take it out of the truck?
    (Assuming it is not a frost free) I have one in my garage that builds up ice pretty fast.

    Yeah, my costs have been spiraling up too. Fortunately, the VA and BCBS through Prime won't change. Now what I'm interested in (as a non-employee) is if I can get the same kind of coverage at a lower price through the Colorado exchange. I'll be exploring that in the next month. What I've heard about California's approach is that there has been wide acceptance by the insurance carriers, at a very much lowered price. Interesting...

    I left Colorado shortly after that ####### shot up the theater by my house, but being primarily blue, I imagine that they would have a decent support structure set up for the system.

    I am not overly fond of most entitlement programs, but I do have love and respect for colorado's CCAP program.

    Yes they have freezers you dont have to worry about taking them out to defrost because you only probaly be able to get a pop sickle stick in them. :biggrin_25523:

    You get a percentage based on your seat class, as I've said before.
