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

 LBA and CEA are together for benefits.
