Yeah, other than preferring to live and bumming out a few people dying isn't the main concern...but I feel ya.

So after 20 min on the phone with some cool lady from Texas it seems as though I could get into high deductible insurance for about $130/mo...not disgustingly horrible...just horrible. That's a 7k deductible. Although it's not such a bad deal if you're staring at a 20k bill. Why couldn't I have been born in Europe???

Sounds pretty intense but thanks all the same. I'll just stay home and watch YouTube Looks like AAI used to offer group plans but not since the "affordable" healthcare act.

I'm just getting into winter Alpine travel and will take a class here or there when I can afford it, avalanche safety and then glacier travel. I've no real desire to get into full on technical climbing and intend to stay in the PNW. To start it'll just be snowshoeing and camping. I'm self employed and pretty much can't afford the mandated insurance offerings. Are there any other options for a Seattle resident? How many of you folks just go without? Thanks!
