Health Insurance for RPT's?

[Mark Schecter]

Hi, Carman.

Having Blue Cross is a very good ace in the hole to have while you're 
looking. During a period of uninsuredness a couple years ago, I 
discovered that there is health insurance available to members of the 
Better Business Bureau. Whatever the BBB's other pros and cons, this 
could be worth the cost of membership, and the coverage is automatic, 
meaning they don't disqualify you for preexisting conditions. I got 
Kaiser for $440-ish a month, until I switched over to my wife's 
insurance (Blue Cross). I don't know whether what is offered varies 
depending on where you join, but it might be worth checking your local 
branch.

I wonder whether some or all of the members of PTG could band together 
and get group coverage for less?
