They should shop around. My entire family is fully insured for 750.00 per month. We pay extra to go to whatever doctor we want without needing permission or referrals. If we went to an HMO it would drastically reduce the cost. That amount gives us full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage for four people. My husband is diabetic and has been since he was a child. I know private insurance isn't a perfect system, but the fact is, if you live in the US you need insurance. You don't have to pay 800.00/month for an individual to be insured.
