Yes, but what are they're pre-existing conditions?
Is one (or both of them) so fat, that they have their own gravity?
Are either of them chain-smokers?
I find it hard to believe that they're paying a grand a month for insurance, just because "the mean 'ole HMO said so." |
Well believe it or not, that's how small group underwriting goes. Mom and Pop groups pay out the ass for insurance.
