Just for the sake of comparison, Greg's employer carries our insurance. We have a $2,000 deductible per person with 80% coverage after that is met. For this we pay $127 per WEEK.

When I quit at the bank they offered me to continue the insurance on my own... my monthly cost for just Greg and I would have been over $1,600! It was good insurance, but OMG that's a lot of money!

So compared to ours, is yours high? Or is it just sticker shock because it's increasing from the old price? You're right, insurance is terribly expensive, but being without it is unthinkable as a simple appendectomy can about bankrupt you if you have to pay for it out of pocket.
