Yikes! Pray that obamacare goes into effect in 2014 (a long way off, I know). In Massachusetts, premiums on private self-pay heath care are not low, but they don't go up if you have had high health costs or have a pre-existing condition. This is a great relief, because I have been hospitalized many times for depression and my husband was treated for kidney cancer. Just knowing we could get insurance at a fixed (though high) rate, is a relief.
