the supposedly fancy, special medical professionals' group policy I had for years that topped out at $500/mo SEVEN YEARS AGO and had a deductible of either $5000 or $7500 ( I forget) and an annual out-of-pocket of $10K IIRC. And that didn't cover A SINGLE THING until the deductible had been met, so I was out of pocket (including premiums)$11,000-$13,500 per year before I could get an effing aspirin paid for by them.

I had to choose between paying for insurance etc and paying for the occasional doctor visit myself. There WAS no choice. It was bankrupting me.
