I'm glad! I just wanted to make sure--no one on the internet can hear your tone of voice, etc.
We've been without insurance 4 of the 5 years we've been married, and the year we had insurance it was very hit and miss--we never knew month to month if we would be covered, and when we were covered, we had to fight with the insurance company over every single claim we made (nor were they expensive claims--I'm talking basic stuff like a doctor's visit for a sinus infection and the like). Fortunately, I'll be graduating hopefully this spring (finally!) and then hopefully will be able to find a job with good insurance.
I can't imagine being without insurance for 10 years! But I'm glad that you have insurance now, and excellent insurance at that.
And I hear you about being frustrated with people who abuse the system--I have a friend who's a doctor and she gets very frustrated with people who try to take advantage of the system. It's so frustratingly not fair, when I know there are people who are working and really struggling and fall through the cracks.
