Unless you are just barely getting by, but still make over what Medicaid will accept. Then it is yet another mandated expense that takes more from the personal bottom line. And a very expensive mandate at that. Health insurance prices are hellish if you have to pick up a policy yourself.

Since I'm a teacher in NYC, I get all healthcare for free, even if I were to cover a family. I consider myself lucky/grateful compared to the economy today.
I have BCBS with a $1k deductible. That does me a whole lot of good!
It's still cheaper for me to fly down to San Diego, then cross over to Tijuana and have my work done down there. An orthopedist only charges me $30 a visit and he's done wonders for me. And while there, I have dental work and whatever else I need done.
I only have the insurance in case something catastrophic happens. All else, I'll have it done in Mexico.
I dont see anything wrong and the numbers show that, MA is the state with the least uninsured people. While your state of TN has over 13% of its residents uninsured. I wish the whole country could imitate MA.
