So you refuse the challenge of getting healthcare quotes for yourself? Faxed ads are proof of nothing.

Do you have health insurance through work? If so, call that provider, and see how much it would cost you to continue that plan on your own if you quit work - and not under Cobra, but as an individual.

And if you don't have a plan through work, I challenge you to call Humana and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (what we have in KY) and get quotes for yourself, as an individual being insured (no group), with a $2000/year deductable. Get back to us on the costs.

Same goes for you, Dell - if you have insurance at work, call your provider and ask how much the exact same plan will cost you a year as an individual, not under COBRA.
