It's through our employer, and I don't know what the entire rebate will be, or how it will be distributed, but it makes me happy to know that they couldn't rob us with excessive premiums!

(22,837 posts)I have my own insurance and it's not the greatest, but at least the premiums are affordable. Wonder if I'll be getting a rebate...?

(6,756 posts)My insurance premiums were cut because I was able to get better coverage with a cheaper plan.
Instead of a plan that gave only 75% coverage, $2000 deductible, and cost $400 per month,
I only pay $226 per month, for 95% coverage, and a $500 deductible.
