This was sent to me but intended for the list. It confirms what I said, but is MUCH better than my message was.

I use NWU too. The National Writers Union provides Health, Dental, Vision,

You have to be a member, but the cost of the membership is well worth it to
get the insurance. I've been VERY pleased.

The only ones with which I'm familiar are the plans available from IEEE and
from the National Writers' Union. The latter uses Aetna/US Health Care, a

to my ophthalmologist for routine checkups, but I've been very satisfied.
