I am fortunate in that I pay for only myself through my employer. Less than $100 a month.

I am actually seeing EVERYONE I can fit in this calendar year in anticipation of having to reduce my premiums next year if I take a more tolerable job with a company that's less forgiving of insurance costs.

So far in the past month, visits to the : general practitioner, OB-GYN, dermatologist, dentist and eye doctor. Getting pretty much good bills of health but stocking up on eyeglasses and other items so I won't have to spend next year.

I can't imagine a $400 a month premium. I wish you the best, and feel much more fortunate about my own insurance now... Wish I could share the good fortune...
