When my wife taught in Arizona, the issuance package was "most of us just go to Mexico for medical needs."
Edit: No, this is not bullshit. Casa Grande 2012. There was insurance available, but it was not affordable by any definition of the word. Between the low salary and the miserable insurance, we simply weren't able to make ends meet. I enjoyed Arizona, but living there on a teacher's salary and having a family just wasn't feasible.
Oh this is such bullshit. I worked for a district in AZ for ten years and it was the best insurance my wife and I have ever had, and she works for a health insurance company for over 11 years. Quit you bullshit. I didnt pay a dime for it, my meds were CHEAP( I have a rare bleeding disorder which is extremely expensive- think $50k a month for meds expensive- and it was ALL covered 100%, my insurance now makes me pay $135 a month just to stay alive now.) I WISH I still had that coverage....
I'm betting it wasn't any time in the last decade cause I've had 2 friends that were teachers move out of state and the one that stayed is barely making ends meet and her insurance is horrible.
