i'm self employed and pay my own insurance so all i can afford is the 80% thing but the deductible is so high it's basically like i'm paying out of pocket for any hospital visit. the only thing my insurance is covering is catastrophy. oh and prescription drugs too. but i'm quite healthy and never go to the doctor so my insurance is really only covering me against catastrophy. it seems so dumb. if there was socialized healthcare i would be paying for nothing but my general well being would be protected and i'd somehow feel like the money i was paying in was going towards _something_ besides insurance against an accident i'm never going to have.
