Or get a high deductible policy that runs far less than your $1500 price tag. My soon-to-be-wife's job offers really lousy health insurance, so she bought her own high deductible policy. It's something like $250 for the year. Cheap.
I’d love to hear about what policy that is, and what state, and what the deductible is exactly, because we’ve looked for such things in NJ and not found them.
Anyway, what really ticks me, as I said, is that the uninsured are supposed to pay three or four times as much as the insurance companies pay for the insured. That’s just wrong. If I pay out of pocket, the provider has lower overhead than if he/she/it is dealing with the insurance company.
