The problem is that once you give up your current position, you'll have no choice but to "live it".
With our healthcare , if you have a healthy child, you will be paying $7,000-$10,000 out of your own pocket just for the delivery.
If you get hurt or your wife gets sick in November of 2013 and you require hospitalization or surgery and then have a complication in January of 2014 or need continuing care, you will pay $14,000+ in 2013 and then $14,000 + again in 2014.
$28,000 in just a few short months. I hope you have that laying around in your cash drawer or you may find yourself facing personal bankruptcy, losing your house, or your retirement trying to dig out.
The point is, please think long and hard about the risk you are going to expose yourself and your family to by going to JetBlue. I wouldn't even consider it of I were making that choice today. This place is not worth it.
Ok man. I am as pissed as you are. I want a CBA as much as you as well. Lets just use the facts here and stop spinning info like the company does. The most a perfectly healthy child berth will cost is closer to $5600. This is a little off from $7000-$10,000. Also the max out of pocket includeing deductible is going to be just a bit less than $11,500/yr and not $14,000. $11,323 is the number the PVC and the company actually agreed on yesterday at the road show if every member of your family has a serious event. So when it comes down to brass tacks you better have an extra $8600/yr health care emergency fund to cover yourself and your family. So yes $8600 in November then another $8600 in Jannuary makes a $17,200 emergency fund seem pretty neccesary.
Now you may be adding in the STD/LTD to your numbers which are completely valid, but as this is not the conversation we are having lets stick to the facts based on the conversation we are having.
