NASE seems to be a sweet deal (Score 1)

I got set up with NASE for $149/month for their PPO plan (similar to HMO but not quite as draconian). The limitation on this is that I have to be in-network (meaning here in the greater Houston TX area) if I get hurt - they'll pay for the trip back if I can be transported.

For another $30/month, you get the indemnity plan which covers you regardless of where you are, etc.

Also, NASE plan has the best vision plan I've ever had. My vision plan history was:
Andersen Consulting: jack shit
Informix Software: crappy voucher based system - some decent savings
Houston Chronicle: jack shit
SELF-EMPLOYED BARNEY BADASS: free lenses and eye exam, 60% off of frames (even fancy schmancy ones), 40% off of extra crap (coatings, etc.)

Not to imply that /. readers are of the bespectacled set... :)
