In reply to Reduced RX prices, anyone??, posted by prodgirl on August 30, 2004, at 23:56:12
When I was self-employed, I found high deductible, "catastrophic" health insurance that was affordable. The GP visit & Rx copays were similar to other policies. I just ran the risk of higher out-of-pocket expenses if I required hospitalization, surgery, etc.. In fact, it cost me nearly $10K when my ex broke her femur and required emergency surgery, 3 days in the hospital and followup care. But the bills were over $30K and I saved literally thousands in premiums during the 3 years prior to her accident. Overall, I think this type of insurance is a good deal.
