Have I been sleeping or is this new? I was just on CC and found that there is a link to PRO insurance. They offer health insurance, dental insurance, etc. My husband and I are both self employed and I have wanted PC to offer this FOREVER! Our health insurance premiums are through the roof and I emailed HO a couple months ago about using their position to offer us great prices on health insurance. Their reply was "it would be forwarded to the proper dept." I would think I would have remembered them telling us this is available. This is a great opportunity for any recruit leads you have that want to quit their full time jobs but need the insurance :)
 
There has been insurance available through the direct marketing assocition for as long as I can remember. It looks to me like maybe both will be available, allowing a choice. There's a novel concept!
 
You know what's sad though...for those of use who are not done having children, these plans SUCK!!!!! Why don't they offer maternity? That's just insane. My hubby's job offers health ins., but since it's a small employer, it's like $800 a month which is way out of our price range. So, we're insurance-less. Oh well, what's new, eh?

ARRRGGGHH!
 
you have to call and get a quote... they do offer it.. but i am not sure that it is cheaper... so i may have to hold off quitting my full time job.... :(
 
I clicked to get a quote last night, and maternity for normal pregnancies was not covered. Well, at least not in the price range I'm wanting...I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg for coverage. Plus, you had to wait a year for well baby and other things...how crazy is that. ARRGGGH.
Oh well, such is life.
 
right if you do a quote on line it does not give you maternity quotes when i called she said you had to call and they would email you it. Yes it sucks that you have to wait a year... i wish there was something else out there...
