All I know is that I am SO GLAD I have health insurance. I went through some issues earlier this year where if I hadn't had health insurance, I would have had to pay over $5,000 for my ER visits and other doctor bills. And my medication would be a lot more expensive than it is.

I agree. My husband fell on some stairs a couple of years ago and ended up needing to have surgery on his wrist. The hospital bill was $20k and I feel so lucky that we only had to pay a couple hundred because of our insurance. You might not even realize how important it is to have until something unexpected happens, accident or illness, and you end up in a lot of trouble without it.
