AW: we're insured!!!
DH started his job last Monday, and it's taken a full week to go through all the policies, options, ect, ect. But today, we submitted all of our choices on his work laptop and it's immediately in effect!!!! What a relief.
I am in shock DH has made it for 5.5 years without insurance without any major issues. I've been uninsured for 9 months and have been (minor) sick - but thankfully everything has been easy to pay out of pocket.
Whew. I feel like we've dodged a bullet and I feel so relieved to be covered again. Who knew deciding on a 401k, heath, life, dental and vision insurance could be so fun!

i know! they said it's actually even retroactive from his first day of work. We just finally picked our plans and made the decisions. We're thrilled and feel very very lucky.

Yeah for you, its such a good feeling! My company is the same way, we start the insurance effective immediately.
how is he liking the new job?
Amy
YAY!
with the exception of one place, every job my husband has had the insurance went into effect retroactively from his start date.
The one place it didn't was fine b/c the place he had just left the ins went through the end of the month and the new one started the first of the month so there was like a week w/out.
Yea, you got lucky with immediate benefits! Way to go!!!!
Amy - he's really liking it. There is tons and tons of learning to be done - but it seems pretty interesting to him, and everyone has been super nice to him. They told him he probably won't be a "productive" member of the team for about 3 months... so that's how much he needs to learn about the new programming languages, ect. Thanks so much for asking.

I know! Especially considering he plays soccer at least once a week with a competitive men's team I cannot believe we got so lucky. Funny enough, he had a co-op during college for about 7 months at a local company and he was insured during that time... twice during that 7 months I had to take him to the hospital (lock jaw, and then to a jaw specialist). As soon as his insurance went away... no more issues. Hopefully now that we're covered again, he won't start falling apart...

If he gets really sick you'll have to say "Honey, I think the only cure is to quit your job"
