My husband is self-employed and we pay $1800.00 a month for our health insurance. In December it is going up to $2041.00 per month. This is for a family plan with a $3000 deductible per year.
I always joke with my grown-up daughters that we don't have a mortgage but our health insurance is like one. We have United Health Care and it has been a God-send this last year.
In May my hubby had a heart attack,collapsed lung, and small intestine cancer. He was in the hospital for 4 weeks. Now he is receiving chemo every 2 weeks (to catch the cells that surgery did not). As of 3 weeks ago he is in remission. Cost so far---$400,000.00...

Our insurancre has paid everything.
Our insurance company has been wonderful..They have even called and asked if we need anything else..I know I always hated paying it evey month but now I am thankful that I have it.
