If you move somewhere Kaiser Permanente serves, I've been very happy with them. For all the histronics about how bad the health care system is in the US, I've found the care is quite good if you do some research and are willing to pay for it. My policy is about $250 per month, covers all emergency and severe horrible things, I can visit my doctor within a few days of scheduling, I can get a metabolic panel and have the results emailed to me for $10, etc.
- potatolicious 17y agoLooks like Seattle isn't covered by them - any other suggestions for providers? I've looked at Blue Cross, but I'm really quite clueless when it comes to which ones to go with and which ones to avoid. Any help would be awesome. For the record, the company's offering is through Aetna - and my brief overview online comes up with some pretty bad horror stories. What's the general impression of them on HN?
- abecedarius 17y agoI had them for a couple years through my last employer ("AHF POS II" policy in California, FWIW), with some moderate medical expenses, and I have no complaints. When I had to buy insurance on my own I ended up with KP after similar online research, scared off by the stories too, but there seem to be horror stories about all the providers; as far as I can tell, at best you can only choose a lower probability of them.
