Opus 2014-42: Is It My Turn?

It may be my turn to lose my health insurance.

Our union has been negotiating over health benefits.  They reached an agreement.  Part of it is to move all of our providers under a new “insurance pool.”  I hope that isn’t jargon for “exchange.”  We are all being required to re-submit all of our information and provide a copy of our original marriage license if we want our spouse covered.  The plan that we had before is not being offered.  Some changes will be required. 

This sounds like the scenario in which so many people have been losing their coverage.  Among the interesting aspects is that we have about twenty days to complete the process and my wife tells me it takes 90 days to get a certified copy of a marriage license.  Hmmm.

I am not being overwhelmed by panic.  Not yet.  There will be plenty of time for that later.
