    Insuring yourself???

    How is Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield? - I am on my dad's plan now and that is the Insurer. In my experience, they seem to be very well. Via ehealthinsurance.com, I would be $93/month (now we are considering insuring myself thru a 3rd party and insuring my fiancee through her work).
