[ RadSafe ] Inshurance for Nuclear Workers

[Walter Cofer]

I'm covered under my wife's health insurance policy, but if NukeWorker could
offer professional liability insurance under a group discount, I'd be
interested in that.  As a radiation safety consultant, insurers run away
from me as if I was glowing (which I hardly ever do); their rates are far
above the risk associated with my work.  In hindsight, I probably should
have come up with a business name that didn't include "radiation" in it.

BTW, I really wanted the business name to be "Industrial Radiation Safety"
but more than a few of my colleagues suggested that it might be detrimental
to my business if I called folks and told them I was from "IRS."

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Inshurance for Nuclear Workers

Greetings RadSafers,

I have been approached by MANY people, suggesting that I offer group 
insurance for nuclear workers.  In recent months, the request has come more 
frequently from more sources.  I believe that we can work out a deal where 
all nuclear workers can get a group rate as NukeWorker members.  This rate 
should be better than what most companies can offer.  In fact, I'm proposing

that while you are working, your company take the money they would normally 
pay towards your insurance, and send it to us to cover your plan (pre tax).

Then, when you get laid off, you won't have to worry about cobra, and 
setting up new insurance.  And you won't have to worry about the different 
plans from different companies.

I'll get some rates for different levels of coverage as well.  Some people 
only want major medical with a large deductible; others want full coverage 
with a small deductible.  We will offer several options.

What does everyone think?  I know less than nothing about insurance, but I 
am willing to make this happen, to help everyone out.  How many people are 
interested in this?
