High Profile Opportunity!

I got a call from an agency with a two-year contract at one of the states most prestigious employers. Hell, two years is practically permanent, or at least close enough. And what a project! It was high profile, exciting, cutting edge technology; everything a project manager could wish for.

And the down-side? The agency’s medical plan fucking sucks! It barely qualifies as a benefit. It is by far the worst plan I’ve ever been offered.

I have only been to the doctor once in the past year for a flu shot, so do I really need good insurance? Am I ever really sick? Not so far, but I’m not in my twenties anymore. I knew a woman who had a stroke at twenty-seven. Twenty fucking seven!! She lived, but never fully recovered. I have a friend who broke his leg skiing….. long story, but it took forever to heal with a lot of trips to the doctor, none of which would be covered on this pretend plan I was offered.

It’s a terrific project and the money is great, but just say I hurt myself or get real sick. Then what?

So, what to do… what to do.

STAY TUNED
