Metricula commented on Few Uninsured Willing To Pay Full Cost For Coverage

April 24 2009, 9:46pm

I'm a recent grad between jobs and supporting myself. Like so many uninsured people my age it's a matter of affordability. After rent and fixed bills (I don't have a landline or cable), there's not enough to spend another $300/mo. Sure, I want coverage and I think it's important but when it's rent or that...

I also don't trust that I'll get the coverage I need. My family has had bad experiences with denied claims and separate issue with "pre-existing conditions."

Also, having a pap come back as a false-positive while you're trying to buy your own insurance is a big pain in the hoo-hah.
