I'm still waiting for you to source the example private health insurance plan you wish to use.

Unless I missed something, your source did not state the extent of coverage of the average private policy, and it is my first assertion that you should only have catastrophic health insurance and pay for all the little stuff like lab work yourself.

I’ll tell you what Jerry, look carefully at the bottom half of post #13,see the link that says NCHC | Facts About Healthcare - Health Insurance Cost in addition to what I have posted you will find this.

< The annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four averaged $12,100 in 2007. Workers contributed nearly $3,300, or 10 percent more than they did in 2006.2 The annual premiums for family coverage significantly eclipsed the gross earnings for a full-time, minimum-wage worker ($10,712).>

If that isn’t enough, and I have doubts it will be, because it was all in post #13 which you evidently ignored.

If your really energetic , go to the bottom of the link, there’s 19 cite/links that you can browse thru at your leisure.
