$500 per month?  Jump on that!!!  We paid over
$1,200/mo with a $5,000 deduct....................no dental or eye in
that......
Insurance premiums are going thru the roof this year because no one knows
how this new health care is going to hit them......

I am self employed and have gone
without health insurance for a while.  I have been very healthy,
with the exception of bouts of high blood pressure and high
cholesterol.  I was told both could be treated with diet and
exercise.  Both in place.
Here is my dilemma.  I am older so I am more high risk.  The
best insurance I can find cost close to $500/month for my wife and I and
it has a $3000 deductible for each of us.  Basically we will be
paying $6000/year for catastrophic insurance and will pay $3000 for each
of us until the insurance kicks in.  If we just have some
preventative care, we could end up spending upwards of $8000 a year
without accessing the Insurance.
Any suggestions from others who are self employed?
Thanks!
