Re: Health Insurance Plans:

I would get something that covered like major issues, like heart attack or something big like that. I am assuming you are young and insurance providers will give you some kind of premuim for that.

When I was younger and bartended in Hilton Head for a year I had no health insurance through my employer so I did the above. I actually went to Urgent Care twice, once for a virus posioning (apperently you can not eat raw oysters by the dozen for a week straight) and the second time was for a sprain in my ankle. Each time my insurance didn't cover it but it was only like $125 a visit.

It is a risky way to go but if you know it is just temporary and you are in decent health you can pull it off for a short time.

Now with that said not to scare you but my buddy once got low potissuim (sp) and slipped into a coma with no health insurance. He told me as soon as they load him into the helicoptor he should have started filing for bankruptacy. His bills were like $200k, it was crazy.
