>For the first time in my working life I do not have health insurance and it makes me as nervous as a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs, as a friend of mine liked to say <g>. Nothing funny about it, really. I don't normally see doctors very often -- a guy, you know -- but what if something serious comes up? It could wipe me out.

My health plan is quite simple: pay nothing to any of them, stay healthy and be married to a doctor :).

Happily uninsured since mid-2001.
