My family has health insurance through my husband's employment. We've been happy with it to some extent, but the premium cost is incredibly high and we have a $2,000 deductible. We've been lucky because all 3 of our kids are pretty healthy so we haven't had to spend a lot of extra money on health care, but we still have to deal with this constant weighing of options. It's $50 for every doctors visit so when our kids get sick we have a touch choice: do we spend the money now just to make certain it's just a cold or do we spend the money later after we've watched one of our kids stay sick for a week? That's a terrible feeling as a parent.
