Re: Who do you buy your health insurance from?             Go to Top

Every day I think about it. Get up, look in the mirror, and check my horoscope. I only think I need health insurance on 1-star days. I have noticed that there are never 1-star days for my sign, so I don't think I need health insurance yet.

WTF IS UP WITH THIS QUESTION????

Rick, just because it may be legal to POSSESS in CA does not mean it is legal in other states.

And I think dealing is probalby illegal in CA, as is shipping across state lines.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

Well, lets see... What state are you located...?

Any special health considerations...? Taking any medications...?
Any illnesses that must be considered...?
What is the family size. and any special needs due to the family...?

All the above info must be known in order to render and intelligent opinion... (and yes, some of them are even capable of doing so).

No need to be huffy about it, if you wanted a serious response then perhaps rephrase your question. It didn't come off as serious.

Health Insurance is a ripoff. I'm just going to wait until the taxpayers give it to me! Damn it, I deserve it.

You already have health insurance, Rick, you just need to remember to speak Spanish and keep repeating no habla Engles when you arrive at the hospital. And never, never, never provide them with your real SSN. I think the guy from LifeLock won't mind if you use his.

His number is 457-55-5462. You might want to write that on your matricular consular card for handy reference!

Sorry guys for snapping back...just struck me wrong. Then I thought about how I phrased my question and got a good chuckle myself.

The more I was nosing around it looked like an HSA might make more sense in the long run?
