No we don't go to the hosp alot...but we are up in age and have pre-existing conditions and it makes it impossible to get the same coverage from anybody else any cheaper.

If I get lower prem and have to save to self insure...I'm not gaining anything. And yes I'm self employed and claim the tax deductions...but I don't like what's coming out my pocket right now
