Re: health insurance

Jo Ellen,
I checked on the GWA insurance, but COBRA was cheaper at nearly $700/mo to 
cover John and me. Unlike group insurance offered by employers, the GWA rate 
is based upon your individual profile, so you might have better luck. John 
is 60 and I have a couple of minor health issues. We decided to take the 
COBRA and hope for better options in the near future. Health insurance is 
one of the most challenging issues facing freelancers, in my opinion. GWA 
can't offer a true group rate because the members are scattered over many 
states, according to GWA HQ.
