Hi,

Have any of you taken advantage of the health insurance that the Pampered Chef offers? Do you like it-is is worth while?

Thanks,

There was a thread on this a couple weeks ago. Do a search for 'insurance' and you should be able to find it. The best advice given was that each person and their circumstances are different...so it's best you inquire for an estimate.
 
I looked into it but it won't work for my State, isn't that just the way it goes! The state of Maine won't except it so for now, I'm still on my hubby's plan and we'll be adding the baby to it shortly as well... almost $300 a week, but on the bright side, we DO have insurance!!!
 
$300 a week?! Is that a typo...or am I horriby naive on what insurance costs? (We're covered under the program for military retirees, so I may be ignorant on the realities of health care cost.)
 
Woa! $300 a week? Seriously? You should look into other plans.

I'm researching the insurance through PC. It's comparable to others. It takes a lot of time to compare, but I have found PC's and one other to be less expensive than what we have right now. Now I have to understand the terms and differences between the two before I make a decision.
