Buying Health Insurance - Infuriating

Would have saved us thousands of dollars every year.

The reason why most of us have insurance.

Well, I believe the only issue was that pre-existing (none of us have) and long term disease was not covered. I felt that in the event of one of use coming down with multi-year treatment cancer, we'd just pony up for a policy that is approved by the US gov at that point, since companies can no longer deny you for pre-existing. I'm under the impression that the temp insurance was adequate for what we wanted, but didn't pass the minimum threshold for what the government requires before they declare that you aren't insured and fine you.

The reason we didn't go that route was because my parents were throwing a fit about it.
