Anyone know of a somewhat affordable health insurance plan for someone young? |
|
Anyone know of any plans? I don't think I have any "pre existing conditions", but who knows, I could be denied anyways.
But any suggestions? My cold has mostly gone but I'm still feeling some stuffiness. I don't think I'll die, but God I'd like to not lose my hearing!

2. Can you go to a free clinic |
|
And see if you need some antibiotics?
Feel better!

3. Wait until this BS is over |
|
Your options may be greater. I'm 59, never had health care. Hang in there, you young lucky person.

By the time this thing is over, I'll hopefully have a job with benefits...
Or at the pace congress is going, I'll be dead!
If I'm alive I hope my hearing is still there. I think my Eustachian tubes are messed up...

6. dimetapp without pseudoephedrine |
|
Dimetapp has worked for me and my family for decades. Take the 12-hour tab at night and things are better by morning.

5. Don't play in traffic. |
|
Be careful. Pay attention. Don't do that. Eat well. Get some exercise. Don't smoke. Don't drink. Eat your vegetables. Look both ways. Stay inside. Use disinfectant. Brush your teeth...
Whatever you do, do not get sick!

8. Well...there is the Republican plan... |

Pray to God you don't get sick.
It doesn't work but nothing the Republicans come up with ever does.

A high deductible plan of $2000/yr might only cost <$100/month or less.
I had a friend in college who took 1 credit hour of courses a semester (classes on ballroom dancing, hiking, camping, yachting, etc) because it gave her access to the student health plan.
