Until I had to deal with private health care, I had no idea how f'uped our health care system was. If I wasn't well off, I would have been screwed. I could very well see how the high insurance cost (and soon to have been no insurance) plus medical bills could tap a less afluant family of all they own.

Anyway.. the lesson here is to make sure you have a plan for insurance and that you will actually be able to get it.

It's not to hard or too expensive...I'm a non-smoker in his mid/late 20s...about a grand a year

LOL. I remember those days fondly. Get a little older, add a wife of child-bearing age, and a child or two, and it goes up to about a grand a month. Add any kind of health problems for any member of the family and good luck getting insurance at all. If you find yourself on expensive prescription drugs for life, then you may as well leave the country.

When my COBRA expires next summer I'm screwed.
