I was paying myself while contracting. $750+/month for an HMO that cost 
more than my "high deductible" PPO a few years earlier.

The rebate was for a single month in January, and it was $200, a significant
percentage.  If the "keep bullshit corporations from taking money for
a service and pocketing cash for their 'shareholders' (mostly corporate
officers, board and minions, etc.) legislation had been passed a few
years earlier I'd be $8000 or so richer.
