- Don't be a dill weed.
- Treat other people the way you want to be treated.
- Ladies and children first.
- This is a rescue, not a bitch session.
- Help don't harm.
- Save the snarks for the attorneys and
Above The Law.
Heller Highwater is not:
- a place to practice viscious and vindictive "whisper down the lane" rumour-mongering;
- a place to bad mouth co-workers;
- a place for diatribes against specific people or specific incidents;
- a place to heap pity on poor Heller Ehrman staff by outsiders;
- a place that discriminates or sets margins noting who is outside and who is inside - we even welcome supportive Heller Ehrman attorneys!;
- meant to further the demise of Heller Ehrman, LLP.
Heller Highwater is:
- a place for support, a place of empowerment, a place of passion;
- a place to learn about job leads, resume preparation, skill building, training, new opportunities, and how to succeed in a new workplace;
- a place to keep up on the latest news as to how Heller Ehrman management intends to treat its support staff as it winds down its operations - will it be every woman for herself? or will it be "let me hold the door for you and is there anything else I can do for you"?
- a place of refuge.

From the article that Tom links to:
“The subsidy applies to premiums paid after February 17, 2009 – there is no provision for a “refund” of prior premium payments.”
This recent law doesn’t help anyone who paid COBRA premiums last fall for that period.
I sent in my reduced payment (a $270 per month savings) – I have Kaiser. I got a letter back requesting me to submit the remaining balance. I called Payflex and was informed that once I receive the coupon booklet from them, I should continue to make the full payment. Once the coupon booklet arrives, it will give me retroactive credit beginning with March payment. In other words, I will not get money back, but the credit will apply to the continuing premiums. This is great news! I would also encourage anyone to give a call to Payflex – they are very helpful. The number is 1-800-359-3921. Even if you had Cigna, go ahead and give it a shot. Good luck.
