[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1437686, member: 160246"] My experience with US health care is that for the "underemployed", it's expensive. Now in my mid-50's, I work 20 hours a week so have to buy my health insurance at a cost of $550/month. In addition, not much is covered until I reach my $6,000/year deductible. Don't know what my prescription benefit is (because I don't take any medications). I pay for my own glucose test strips, which cost me 18 cents each. My goal is to eventually find a full-time job with benefits, but that's at least a year or two away. Once I reach age 65, my health care will be much less. Counting down the years... :) [/QUOTE]
