Having health insurance is great. Not having it is terrible. Between
the two extremes are a lot of gray areas, paperwork and a host of
confusing medical and legal terms.If you're lucky, you'll have some
choices when it comes to health insurance. "Your choice may be whether
to take your own employer's health plan or get something else."

For just about everyone, taking the employer's health plan is the way
to go. Even if it is the catastophic plan offered by Wal-Mart. If
someone is working at Wal-Mart they can barely afford food.

I know people who spend $600 a month above what the employer pays for
their employer provided healthcare plan .

Unless you have government or military provided pension/healthcare
(like so many of the rightwingnuts here) expect to pay $800+ a month
for decent healthcare. Probably much more for a plan that pays for
prevention and not just catastophies.
