Health insurance?

[mariposa]

We do not have health insurance right now. Actually, unless I am working (I am an RN) we never have insurance. We are fortunate that all of us are really healthy and haven't needed to see the doctor for much at all.

Is it an absolute must? Anyone not have insurance for their family, especially those with competitive gymnasts? Would a high ($2500) deductible plan be okay?

Thanks!

A high deductible is fine. Having no insurance is very risky. What if someone in your family suddenly needs life saving surgery? Paying $2500 is better than paying $25000 or more.
