As long as I'm healthy I might as well run with it but this has to be a horrible option for anyone with a serious condition. -- nm - Tim Apr 23, 20:32 3
- Yup. If you're healthy it shouldn't be an issue at all and after a year or so you'll have a decent amount saved. -- nm - Krusty Apr 23, 21:12 2
  - Was is a decent amount? $5000. That will get almost wiped out with 1 ER visit. if there is no additional insurance. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 23, 22:41 1
    - For me it was a very large deductible and then it was like insurance with me paying a percent and the ins. paying - Krusty Apr 24, 00:10
This year is the first time they're offering it along with other normal insurance options, but they're implying next year it'll be the only choice. - Tim Apr 23, 20:31
