Question:
In FL anyone in Aetna's small group (1) business program get covered?

I am trying to find insurance in FL as a small group - just me in my own law firm - I am getting frustrated trying to figure out what insurance to purchase under this program in FL's open insurance enrollment. Does anyone know any insurance that I should look into? Please help.    — Karen B. (posted on August 17, 2002)

KAREN, I STARTED LOOKING INTO GROUP INSURANCE IN MAY AND JUST NOW GOT COVERED BY AETNA! I OWN A SMALL COMPANY, BUT NO ONE MAKES ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR INSURANCE! AND THE COMPANY DOESNT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR EMPLOYEE'S INSURANCE EITHER! IT WOULD BANKRUPT ME! WELL I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS AS A SECRETARY IN AN INVESTMENT FIRM THEY ALSO SELL ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF INSURANCE, TINA GOT ME AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER BOSS TO DISCUSS MY NEEDS! I WANTED AETNA! WELL IT WAS NOT EASY! AT FIRST THEY WANTED ME TO HAVE A 4 PERSON GROUP, AT $1100.00 MTH THEN I WENT DOWN TO 3 PERSON AT $990.00 MTH! WELL I ONLY HAD 2 , MY SELF AND ONE OTHER WHO REALLY WANTED IT BUT SINCE IT WAS SO LITTLE DIFFERENT IN PRICE I WENT AHEAD AND PAID PART MY SONS BECAUSE HE WORKS FOR ME. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO ONE MAN GROUP! IF MY POEPLE GO OFF THE PLAN I WILL HAVE TO DO COBRA AND PAY THE PRICE! FROM MAY TIL AUG. WE TRYED GETTING THIS INSURANCE, I HAD TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT POLICYS, ECT.. ALL OF IT WAS VERY TIMELY! I WISH YOU LUCK! THIS IS WHAT WE DID IN ILLINOIS! I DONT KNOW ABOUT FLORIDA!
