guess health insurance isn't, though the school I'm attending says that all the students have to have health coverage, so I'm signed up to pay for my school's health coverage plan.

Because the costs of healthcare without insurance aren't plastered all over billboards, its hard to gauge just how much money you save by having health insurance.
I did a three day stint in the hospital after a short night in the ER. Bill:
$6500. That doesn't include the ER trip. That doesn't include the doctor's visitation. That doesn't include the images taken at the radiology dept. That doesn't include the prescriptions that they filled for me there. My semi-monthly Remicade infusions cost $750 before insurance. Doctor's visitations would be in the hundreds of dollars for me rather than $10.
If you
don't have health insurance in this country, getting sick becomes a bank-breaking deal. Its shitty, but that's the way it is.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
