Health Plans????

[believe]

My Dad is currently in a Cobra program, which will be increasing from approximately $330.00 a month to approximately $450.00 a month. I went on line for comparative prices. One place called Selective Health Plans called, supposedly a branch of Blue Cross Blue Shield. They are saying he can have health care coverage plus many bonuses that he currently doesn't have for $150.00 a month. This doesn't sound right. Has anyone one ever heard of this? I am suppose to call them back tomorrow.

It is not a traditional health plan, but just a discount plan. BC/BS or Fortis are both good choices, not inexpensive, no health plan is. I am always saddened to see people throw money out the window are garbage like that one. Health care is astronomical, so is health insurance, no easy out.

Toby'sfriend...thanks for the link. None of the plans shown give the coverage my Dad needs. They were very limited on the coverage side.

Dan...It didn't sound like the discount plan.

I will be calling them shortly and will let you know what they say.

Dan...Thanks for the link. I think my Dad may have misunderstood them. I will find at when I call. My Dad did recall them saying it was Smart something...which it does say that on the link you sent. I tried searching the past 2 nights and didn't find this link. Thanks.

I spoke with the representative. The link was very helpful. It isn't a plan for my Dad since he does have health issues and to pay a percentage of cost could get really high.

We will keep looking.

Thanks
