I have been researching a bit into family medical, dental, vision plans in Idaho (Most likely Boise Metro). We live in Portland, but it's getting worse and just would like to be around more like minded people. I am able to find very little in the way of medical coverage and costs. I just have a few questions, if someone could give their input I would appreciate it. State / school district employees what kind of coverage do you have and how much do you have to pay per month? My wife works for the school district here and everything is covered for the family (Medical/dental/vision) with very low $10 co-pay. Is there something like this available in Idaho? What are the choices for an average family? We were just researching wages a bit and realized they were about $35% lower, but if you have to pay medical expenses also, how does the average family get by?
We would like a bit slower pace, drier weather and conservative views. I guess we are just tired of being the minority here and it's only getting worse. We have 3 children so excellent schools are a priority.
