I've worked for 3 different corporations, price for health insurance has ranged from $130-160 per month, and that's just for a single man. Insurance is not a pair of air jordans, it's Insurance. It's not a product you usually need until, well you need it.
You probably need to look for a plan that has a high deductible with no monthly premium. But, having a high deductible means you probably need to meet the cost of $5,000 - $8,000 for medical bills before certain any health insurance company will start paying anything. So you need to have 5K on hand at all times in case something happens, most people don't have that discipline.
