I was paying $350 for PPO coverage w/optical and dental a few months ago. Freaking expensive, and highway robbery IMHO.

I've been lucky, I guess, I've never lived without health insurance.

Although he never made much, my dad always had insurance & before I was too old to be on his I had employment that provided insurance.

I pay ~$90 a month for PPO coverage, they even pay for my horrendously expensive RGP contact lenses.

Ah, the perks of working at a hospital/research facility....

The 29 days of vacation/year aren't too shabby either...

29days of vacation mmm would love that, in most countries vacation is a month or more its only in US very little, in other days you can even have weeks of sick days as long you have Doctors note

it's convenient to blame lawyers, but it's the health care delivery system itself that is the root problem.

Actually, its more along the lines of both. I don't know which is more to blame than the other, but malpractice suits are a big reason why.

I could understand $100 a month but not more
