For no particular reason, I decided to track the history of my Blue Cross, Blue Shield monthly premiums. For tax purposes, since I'm self employed, the premiums are deductible so I keep close tabs on them. Here's what they've been:
| 2003 | $282 |
| 2004 | $305 |
| 2005 | $327 |
| 2006 | $425 |
| 2007 | $448 |
| 2008 | $504 |
Is it me or does that seem excessive? Anyone got a good plan? My deductible is pretty low, $250 I think, and I can go to just about any doctor. Thoughts?
And if you missed it, the wonderful Amy Freeze from Fox News (the weather bunny!) commented again on my parade pictures entry. Good stuff. I'm thinking I like the "weather bunny" label. Amy, your thoughts? Weather chick? Weather gal? You're not going to get away with a label that's too flattering...just FYI!

OMG! That is so awesome that Amy freeze commented on your blog. It's legit for sure?
Whoops, made a mistake on that comment.
Yep, I think it's legit Stef. DJF doesn't believe it's her though.
I'm on a friends plan who employs about 15 people,my monthly payment here in the Garden State is over $600! I might have to move to Illinois!
This isn't me.
I think THAT amy freeze was DJF being a bastard. The other post, from the parade, was consistent with her other posts though.
Have you looked into a plan tied to a Health Savings Account. Wife and I are on a plan that is only a couple of hundred more per month (for two of us) that ties in the HSA that also gives us a vehicle for tax deferred savings.
Busted.
