Rick, how come you've never checked out the AARP's insurance? (Or maybe you have) Very reasonable rates, to put it mildly. I pay $46/month with the highest deductible, there are all sorts of other plans with lower ones, of course. But nothing like what you're paying--and if you're just using it as god-forbid ins anyway, it makes sense to have a high deductible. Really the only reason I even have it (the kids are on another plan) is because I feel you get treated better when you go to a doctor that doesn't know you. Sal
