I don't have any insurance at all at the moment.. I really should look into it. "It'll never happen to me"! right?

I am actually glad that i got private insurance, it guarantees you the best care possible in great hospitals.

I honestly don't know any more. I had insurance through my parents' work when I was a student but now that I've graduated and moved I don't know when my coverage expires. Whee.

Don't have it ... don't fucking want it.

out of curiosity, why not? i mean...i really can't understand not wanting something that will help you save money/be good to yourself.

then again, every once in awhile i get sick a lot

Honestly I don't really want socialized medicine here. At least not till the rein in the insurance companies, and thats not going to happen for a while. I'm even one of the people who would benefit from it. I HAVE to have my medication, so I hoarde before I go off of insurance. Currently I work for the state so I get bang up insurance.

I've had no health insurance for years now. That's probably not good.

I have great insurance when I'm working but for the 2 or so months a year during the off season for shooting I have no insurance. COBRA is ridiculously expensive. I always fear that I will be struck down by a bus or find a mysterious lump during those months.

I would love some.
But it would have to be the kind where I don't have to pay up front and then fill out and mail in some form to get reimbursed by them because I would never do it or have the money up front and that sucks.

For anyone in California between the ages of 19-29, there's a new health insurance provided by Blue Cross, it's called Tonik, and appears to be pretty straight-forward.

Rates apparently are $64 to $123 per month based on the three different plans that they offer.

I'm not sure what other states do, if there is anything comparable offered.

Yes.

Also Bridges to Access can help with perscriptions. Checking out PPPs and PPOs aren't a bad idea either.

Yes, thanks for bringing that up.

Check out Needy Meds for info about prescription medication programs.

I have really shitty insurance. It is the cheapest plan Wal-Mart offers, so if I want to use it I must pay a $1000 deductible.

It's basically catastrophy insurance.
