[QUOTE="roarzorz, post: 6236966, member: 577193"] Back when I had medical insurance it cost me $200 a week for my family. Luckily my wife got a decent job at a hospital and was able to get insurance for her & our kids silly cheap. For myself it still cost me $50 a week at my job with rates going up every year. Two years ago I said enough. I'm not paying $2600 a year in case something happens. If I ever need health care I'd rather make $50 a month payments to the hospital on that bill rather than $200 a month to a company that does nothing. Since that time I've been to to hospital once for an eye injury. That bill was $1000 and is easily paid off. I also had to see a specialist which I thought would be outrageous. They were cool and when they found out I didn't have insurance knocked my total down to $30. That's not a typo. The eye specialist only charged me $30 because I didn't have insurance. With a flat bill you have the chance to make payments and actually get it paid off. With insurance you never stop making payments. Screw the insurance companies. [/QUOTE]
