We went through this last year when we had to shop for our own insurance. COBRA would have cost us over 900 a month. My husband, who has taken one sick day in his entire career and has never had more than a sinus infection since his 20s (when he had mono), had had a DVT two years before. Because of this, it was almost impossible to get coverage on our own. We finally ended up with a 10K deductible, just in case of catastrophic illness, and it still cost us over 500 a month. During the application, I was told by a rep not to say that I had ever taken meds for anxiety because they would deny me. It was this year that I decided that insurance had become nothing more than a for-profit- at-all- costs industry, and I no longer supported it in its current form. There are some services that can't perform as a pure business model becuase they are necessary to the welfare of the people. Medical care is one of these, imo, and the industry in its greed has forfeited the right to self-regulate.
