The insurer was Golden Rule, and it was awful. We had no choice. Most of the practitioners wouldn't accept the "insurance" for billing, so we had to file everything with the insurer, and half of what we filed was denied. As soon as the ACA came out, I transferred to that for normal insurance.

You might suggest she go on healthcare.gov and start the signup for that. Find out what her options are, then opt out of this company plan if the ACA is affordable.

It sounds so sketchy. Notice they're not calling it "insurance" so that they don't have to pass any state and federal regulations.
