I found some research about these plans stating members tend NOT to go to the doctor for small things (because they don't want to pay out of pocket), which means the plan winds up dealing with many more much larger cases than more traditional plans do (because small stuff isn't detected before it becomes something big).<br /><br />Because my firm is small and tends to change up the insurance from one year to the next, I switched to Sweets' plan when we got married. We had a choice between two PPOs and two HMOs. I convinced him that as healthy people, we'd be fine with an HMO. People bitch and moan about HMOs and how limiting they are. But, let me tell you, when I was hospitalized for 6 days related to Gavin's birth and he was then hospitalized for 5 weeks ... it was awfully nice to have only paid a $20 co-pay (that also included every doctor's visit during my pregnancy), rather than some portion of the $200K in hospital bills and almost a year's worth of doctor's visits!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-72747849505622154532012-01-12T11:45:29.500-06:002012-01-12T11:45:29.500-06:00That's one of the nice things about flying in ...That's one of the nice things about flying in Canada, you can usually check up to 50 pounds free!!
