I am not trying to make myself the hypothetical example, I am only demonstrating how insurance becomes affordable when you trim the fat off the policy and take only what you need.

Using my quote -vs- your average, I would save $3,000 simply by taking catastrophic. That $3,000, assuming I need to pay for medical atention at all in a given year, pays my entire out-of-pocket + $200.
I guess healthcare premiums are like gas prices, depends on where you live, here’s on from Clark County Or. (Medford) same age group your talking about, $1000 dollar deductible, $ 178 per month.
