I just bought my own health insurance because I'm self-employed and I'm only paying $80/month. I can pay $150 and have doctor visits/prescriptions mostly covered.

You must have had lots of health problems in the past or your are lying about that number.

I imagine you're a single white male under the age of 30 with no prior health issues.

I'm insuring a family (wife & child) as well as myself which drives up the cost. If I were to leave them uninsured then I would pay $0 out of pocket.
