They both crap. Sba You pay dues all year so it pays for a free luncheon. LBA you pay your dues all year to pay for a free ticket to the Bronx zoo. LBA sucks

Anyone who is currently a Lt or has knowledge care to elaborate a little on this ? Im curious to know how bad the prescription and dental coverage will be for Lts ? For the people that actually have dependents (Wife,Kids) do you have to pay extra for anything ?

I think pba has the best dental. After that I havent noticed a difference. The soc does have a buy up dental plan for like 24 a check. Its not great but better than free plans I find in network dentists to be horrible. You really have to find that one good one. Any great dentist couldnt afford to stay in business accepting 58 dollars for a cleaning. Thats wat our insurance pays

Soc only covers generic. Any name brand u get a discount only. If you have monthly prescriptions they have to go thru mail in pharmacy

I wonder if migrants have to jump through hoops like these to get medical attention.

The further you go, the crappier the benefits get. CEA probably doesnt even have dental benefits
