Chris, I just feel blessed that we have been able to pay cash for our medical costs so far...the amount has been far less than what insurance for my family would cost. We do live in fear of a major medical incident though.I pray every day that we stay healthy enough to stay out of the hospital and nothing major ever goes wrong. I'm happy you have a job with health insurance. DH has had jobs where you are supposed to get it after 6 months or a year and so many hours worked but the companies make darn sure that if you get close to getting enough hours in that they send you home so you don't qualify.Or suddenly, everybody who isn't covered yet gets cut a day or whatever.He even worked in a union bakery in the city up here where he had to pay union dues and still, hours were kept below limits so newer people couldn't get insurance....
