Lazyweb: dumbness prevention request

[prog]

Is $260/month a decent price for health insurance for a self-employed 33-year-old? I've never had to do this myself before, so I really don't know.

It is one of the cheapest offered by the folks I'm talking to, with a nice office & checkup co-pay, but no meds and a crap deductible. I currently do not take medicine, though, nor am I prone to expensive procedures, so it seems like a good place to start.

Yes, you may infer from this that I've decided to stick with the indie-contractor lifestyle for the time being. I like it.

i pay about $54 a month for Blue Cross/Blue Shield (i'll let you do the math)..

that's kinda expensive to me but then again i didn't pay it for over a year because my company covered 100%.

That's gotta be after your employer covers a chunk of the premium themselves, right?

yup! my employer covers about 80%.
