Total, but quick rant

As I was filing pay stubs yesterday, a little slip of yellow paper fell out of one of the envelope's. This is what the paper reads. "Please note a new deduction on your pay statement for "Non-Participating Wellness." On the enrollment From, you selected "No, I elect not to participate in the Health Risk Appraisal Event." As a result, $60 will be deducted from your November pay for the months of September, October, and November. Starting with your December pay, the amount deducted will be $20 per month through August 2009." WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HOW CAN YOU DO THAT? Breath, breath, breath.
Let me set the scene. At the beginning of the school year, Piedmont Comm. Health Care approached all of their paying health insurance clients informing them that there was going to be a Health Fair, where they would access how healthy you were. Bring your wife, bring you kids. This is the best thing you can do for your family. Blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, immunization scheduling, or whatever test they could run that would tell you how healthy you are. And if you are not what they consider "healthy" you betcha your rates will go up next year. Rich and I decided that it was NOT the best thing for our family. Considering that our health insurance premiums run us $500 a month, you would think it would be OUR CHOICE not to participate. Well, yes, it was our choice... but we will pay. We will pay hundreds of extra dollars for making our CHOICE.
UGH! UGH! UGH!
