I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. If you don't have insurance through an employer - or a spouse who has insurance through an employer, it just seems that you're boned. *sigh* In my women's group recently one of our members talked about how she pays $7,000 a year for insurance for JUST herself. Because she had cancer in 1992. It was early stage and gotten rid of in several months, and has never recurred - but no one else will take her. The insurance she had at the time will not charge her less than $600 a month. She can afford it, but I couldn't stop thinking: "What if she couldn't?" I guess she'd just be without insurance.

Had the second baby, also by c-section, with no insurance. My son was "paid off" the same month he started kindergarten, and that was only because the doctor's portion of the bill (totalling over $10,000 including doctor, hospital, and anesthesia) was written off by a very kind office worker who conveniently lost my file when the medical group moved. And the second section was for a totally different reason than the first. Yep, been there, done that. Had the second baby, also by c-section, with no insurance.
