I wonder how much could be saved by simply shopping around for medications? Yeah, it might not save you much, but it would save the insurance companies some, which in turn might allow lower premiums. Yes, that is naive perhaps... But it is something.

My wife, who is pregnant, does not have medical insurance. (Don't worry, I can cover it....) I could not beleive it when her pre-natal vitamins were $150!!!!! I later found out I could get them for less than 1/2 of that someplace else...



Indeed... To not be like them....

You think 150.00 is high...god forbid she needs a csection...it would be hundreds of thousands...I just can't imagine being pregnant without insurance...how scary.
