sheila, if you use drugs or choose conventional medicine to treat chronic or

degenerative disease, this won't work. But if you just want coverage for

traumatic injury, you can always get catastrophic or " accident " insurance,

which can be gotten much cheaper. i just got that myself. i didn't see any

point in paying an arm and a leg for regular insurance when i wouldn't

choose to treat a chronic or degenerative disease with conventional medicine

anyway.

as for your husband, if he's on drugs, then that wouldn't work for him, but

it could for you if you choose an alternative route to healing.

btw the recent medicare bill made some changes to medical savings

accounts that make them much more attractive for a healthy person

that just wants catastrophic coverage. i may do it myself and get

out of this crazy health insurance system.

Hi Suze,

Accident insurance is a very good idea.

I am deep into alternative care, but my husband is not. He goes

about half way which is better than not at all.

Someday herbs, TCM and healthy foods will be the way most people will

maintain and regain their health. Maybe in a thousand years or so.:-)

Imagine a health insurance company that helps us pay for top notch

grass fed meats, organic produce and massages. Heavenly!

Thanks to you and everyone else who replied.

You all are so helpful.

katja, the one i got is specifically for the self-employed. if you fall

under that category then the URL is: http://www.nase.org/

i'm paying $112/mo., 0 deductible, $1,000,000 coverage. covers all traumatic

injury from mild to severe. if you have minor injury and are in and out of

the emergency room the same day, you do have to pay a $100 ER fee.

you get other benefits for joining NASE too, such as road service like AAA,

tax help, etc. no extra charge.
