So, I guess it boils down to- does anyone else here work for a small company of 50 people or less, get Blue Shield (or Anthem Blue Cross) directly (not through a group) and pay close to those same prices? Or is it just my company?

My other option is that my wife is on SSI Dissability, so she gets Medicare Part A (or is it Medical? I get them confused). I can take her off my insurance, and pay for her Medicare part B & the supplemental insurance through AARP or some such firm. I don't know how much those would cost, and what the coverage would be like. She would also have to change medical groups and drs which would really suck. And less places take Medicare/Medical now. This option makes me nervous....

My last option is to find a new job with better benifits. But that makes me even more nervous in this economy.
