I'm lucky. My Health insurance is part of my benefits package where I
work at the hospital. :-) They deduct $30.00 from my paycheck twice per
month for it and the co-pays are affordable.

They used to give it to us for free, but that changed......

One of the nice things about working in a hospital and having to use
_their_ facilities, you know everybody and know which doctors to avoid.
