I apologize if this posts twice. I swear that I typed it and hit post, but when I came back to the board, it was not there. Anyway, can someone help me with a few questions. I thought I understood, but the $ numbers for Brussels seem too good to be true.

haha I would agree. That's right around what we pay per month for FEHB.
