High deductible plans. I'm sure this is not the only site that does this. Just googled it up. high-deductible-health-insurance.org

With everything over $20k, or esp. if it was as low as $10k covered, and tax advantages for insurance provided through an employer where dropped (so that I would be out of pocket for the full cost), and the regulations driving up insurance cost where not dropped (OTOH I don't think VA is that bad, certainly its no NY in this area) then I might not bother with buying any other insurance (or as some would call it insulation or "insurance" with the quotes). Would that be a bad thing? If you had to pay everything up to $10K (or had to pay a small premium for the stuff between $10K and $20K) would you take better care of yourself? Am I wrong or is the problem the catastrophic stuff? Honest question... not trying to make a point.
