In my 50's that has been all that I could afford. This September I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I've used the whole deductible in 2008 and will use it again in 2009. I am also the main bread winner and haven't been able to work for 5 months. I've just learned about the HSA's from your blog, I will definitely look into this. Keep in mind that no one expects to get ill, but it does happen. I have had $15,000 deductible health insurance for 10 years. In my 50’s that has been all that I could afford.

Once you hit 50+ the rates skyrocket. On the other hand if you are under 19 the rates are really good. I found out that by having health insurance as individual policies instead of one family policy it ends up being cheaper too. Health insurance also gets more expensive as you get older.

I don't even know how much my employer pays(I don't pay anything) for my wife and I for our medical and dental. She pays$26 a month for dental and between our plans, dental of all types is pretty much free. I suppose we pay for it in our income taxes though. Looks to me like you made a wise decision though.
