| The View From Your Sickbed
My company had decent health insurance and I took full advantage of COBRA, but once that ran out the ONLY insurance I could get is a $5,000 deductible policy at more than double the price of the far, far better COBRA policy. The only reason I could get even that terrible coverage was because the insurance company was legally required to offer me coverage. As a result, I must postpone certain expensive preventive tests, such as the colonoscopy which is overdue. I simply cannot afford it. I go to my primary care physician only when I feel I absolutely must (luckily my general health is quite good), and often do not go on to specialists that he might recommend for a condition he can't handle if it's something I judge I can live with (getting old is a bitch). I have a history of back and neck problems, minor skin cancers, and occasional Atrial Fibrillation.
