I am not doubting Jim Fernandes Health Insurance costs in the USA.  However, the cost of health Insurance depends on each person's unique situation, including Married or Single, dependants etc.  I pay a small fraction of what Jim pays for my USA Medical Insurance, which includes Dental Insurance

Mervyn, I am serious about the cost of insurance here in the US, my man. The cost is ridiculously high and out of line! The plan I got, is sold by Oxford (Freedom Plan). You can probably go online and request for a quote yourself. If you still don't believe me, I'll show you my cancelled checks
