Answer:
You probably want to save as much money as you can, as $30,000 is not much for a growing family of four, so you'll probably choose the HMO. Even if your employer pays for you, the costs of PPO's tend to be higher, so the portion you will pay for the family will also be higher.
One caution: if you want to see a doctor that you like, be sure to check with that doctor's office to find out which health care network(s) they belong to. The HMO is set up to work with your primary care physician. Your kids are young, and will probably be going to the doctor a lot more than you can imagine-- ear aches, required immunization shots, coughs, colds, whatever they pass around from one kid to another.
Big benefit of HMO-- besides saving money: your primary care physician will get to know you and your family, and will understand your feelings and needs in your family.
Here's one more quote from the first source listed below: The Breakdown
HMOs and Fee-for-Service Plans are on opposite sides of your health insurance spectrum, while POS and PPO plans fall somewhere in between them. HMO’s offer the least freedom, followed in order by the POS, the PPO and Fee-for-Service plans. Cost-wise, an HMO is usually the least expensive option, followed by POS plans, PPO plans and finally Fee-for-Service Plans.
Explanation:
<span>It depends on what the expectations of the conversation are as well as what roles these people fulfill in your life. For example, you might have a friend from soccer that you might not be able to confide in about personal issues. Generally, its confiding in individuals who fit all of these roles that would make up a coping mechanism for stress and change - If you did not have any friends and only conselors and parents, you might have an inadequate system for dealing with life's problems.
In addition to having such a system in place, its important that these roles provide constructive input. What good is a counselor or friend if, after explaining your problem, they do not provide their opinion? If they do provide their opinion, what good is it if its of little to no value? In short, yes, talking with friends/counselors/parents is a good way to deal with stress and change but ONLY if these individuals are fulfilling the roles in a constructive manner.</span>
<span>This is true. If your muscles are stronger then your bones will lose less because they work together with muscles. An easy example can be your spine. If you have strong back muscles there's less chance that you will suffer from spine injury from things like falling or lifting heavy objects. Bone loss is the same in that domain.</span>
