How much do you pay for health insurance? (medical, doctor, blood)

[JD59]

Hi, I have friend that is 60 years old that pays 1,000 a month for health insurance. He has to work to pay his insurance. He works for TRW as a engineer but has told me if he is lad-off he will never find another job because of his age. He is also working for a contractor and can be lad-off anytime. What makes his health insurance so high is his wife has diabetes and is on oxygen 24 hours a day.

I pay 260.00 a month for my health insurance.

How much do you pay for health insurance?

I have BC&BS from Farm Bureau in Tennessee. I hate to say it but I have diabetes and history of blood clots to the lungs and have GERD.

I don't have health insurance,luckily so far I've been fairly healthy and have been able to pay cash for my health needs.I've been to the doctor once in 11 years and that was in dec.

$50 a month for myself for a PPO. I have excellent coverage.

For myself, wife and two children i pay $1100 or thereabouts. Its absolutely killing me having to pay this but my son does have a medical condition, and thank god Medicaid is covering the copay with my health insurance, else i couldnt do it.

I pay $201/month for me and my two children. I chose the PPO option, which isn't the cheapest but in my opinion, you get what you pay for! Kaiser HMO is only $50 or $60 a month, but all I hear of Kaiser are horror stories...
