Health Insurance for Poker Players
Quick question that someone will know more about than me.
As some know I've been playing for my only source of income for a year now and full time since May. While in school I was covered for health insurance under my dads awesome plan that he got through his job. When they found out I was no longer going to school they gave me the option to extend this coverage, which is a premium coverage that includes everything imaginable, for 36 months.
I've heard good health insurance is semi impossible for full time players so I elected to extend the coverage. The downside is that it's costing me 415 bucks a month.
The upside is that they will pay for Lasik eye surgery, but I'm still wondering the amount you other full time players are paying for good health insurnace.
On a side note, I'd need good insurance because I play rugby as well as many other sports, so don't respond telling me to go with bare minumum coverage because I don't want to chance getting a random injury and not being covered properly.
So, is 415 too much? What is reasonable?
Thanks,
Jon
