    fellows understand this, all the providers coverage really does not cover a lot.
    you need to count the cost, not only in the short term but also the long term.
    question for you owner operators out there. have you put that cost in your CPM?

    It applies to everybody.Not to be sarcastic, but you do have options. You can move to another country. and see how that works out for you.

    Health insurance would be a fixed cost, so it wouldn't be included in CPM (variable cost)

    Do you include your truck insurance in your CPM? The same goes with your health insurance.

    @q in sac -- what would you recommend for coverage for normal illnesses while on the road (outside California)?

    With full sarcasm. ... would you also suggest the option of moving to all the people sucking off the system? Like a large number of unspecified people who happen to be citizens of another nation?

    Well MY country, that many of my family members fought and died for defended it,is being over ran by liberal demos who think they know whats best,should all be rounded up and sent to another country,and maybe folks like you would have to get a real job selling products not MANDATED to purchase..

    Lets be fair. The libs are certainly receiving lots of help from the crony capitalists masquerading as republicans.

    Thats true but,they never MANDATED l purchase a PRODUCT..why ##%# up the whole health insurance system to make sure a few get coverage? Remember ..if you like your plan,you can keep your plan..Wheres that sound beat now ?
