BTW, My health insurance has been over $700 monthly for a high deductible plan for quite a while now. Pretty typical premiums.
Some people that have employers that are paying part of their premiums... They're in for some real sticker shock when they find out what the real costs are.
John, for the past 10 years I haven't had health insurance. I believe in "Preventive Health Insurance" in eating the right foods and staying active. I don't eat meats, dairy products, and avoid processed foods. My resting heart rate is low 40's. Blood pressure is typically in the mid to low 70's, have low cholesterol levels and am active with no real family genetic health issues other than heart failure lol, which I personally contribute to my grandparents poor eating choices and way too much meat. Please see the documentary "Forks over Knives", on Netflix and Fat, Sick, and nearly dead, also on Netflix for further clarity. Or read the book "The China Study".
Anyhoot, enough of that tangent... ... I just honestly could never see myself paying $700/month for Health Insurance. That's a crime in itself and I'm sorry if you've bought into that.

I have changed my diet radically and it is great , I agree with you but you can never have too much meat! I don't eat any grains, any sugar, even cut out potatoes and corn so my list of food choices is short. I eat a ton of meat and my cholesterol is good. I think the cholesterol thing is overblown, my family line has had high cholesterol and most have lived into their 90s. i get my bloodwork every 3-6 months so I have tested different things. I ate beef everyday for 3 months and my Cholesterol only went up 10 points.
Even child birth is expensive.
You really should think about picking up a copy of this book the next time you're out.
This just in... Bacon can hurt you...
