>>COBRA was great while it lasted, but then it ran out and my health insurance ran up 300% in the space of two years, after a while you wonder if spending $7,200 per year to insure yourself is worthwhile ... that is a lot of money ... and the cost to insure a female is much higher ... my game plan is if I get hit with the Big C, I will go to a nation that is hospitable to massive doses of morphine<<

I'm lucky, because California has something called CalCOBRA, which gave me another 18 months of coverage (at my own expense, of course) after my 18 months of federal COBRA ran out.
If that were not so, I'd be uninsured right now, because I'm classified as "uninsurable".
I sincerely hope that you don't get the Big C, or any other horrible thing. Meanwhile, though, you might want to consider the catastrophic insurance only option. That might cost you a lot less than $7,200 per year. I don't know, though.
