Certain medical procedures (such as uncomplicated childbirth) can be prepaid by those who do not have insurance, for a substantial discount. I mention this because sometimes it is more cost effective to go with a more “catastrophic” policy, which only kicks in after a high ($5000 for example) deductible. Older people or those with pre-existing health conditions can sometimes save quite a bit by purchasing such a plan, and then by using the money that would otherwise be spent for exorbitant premiums to prepay. Once you have any kind of medical problem documented on your medical history, it becomes a whole new ball game. I know someone who was denied coverage due to “obesity” and this individual certainly does NOT look heavy.
