This is the thing I've been thinking about the most lately. I've never gone to the doctor unless I needed stitches or something, but that's not going to hold out forever. At some point even the healthiest of us will need doctors. I've finally got dental insurance again now, (after I paid cash to have all my teeth replaced of course). No health insurance at the moment.. I had to cancel my corporate group plan when I left Hawaii because it wouldn't carry over to the mainland for some reason... but I'm planning instead now to get plugged into the VA system and start using the free benefits and free health care there that I'm entitled to. Never used the VA before, but no reason I can think of why I shouldn't.
