Because at age 23, I can pay $60/mo. for comprehensive coverage on my car, but it will cost me $90/mo. for health insurance--and that health insurance STILL doesn't cover everything. It has a deductible that has to be met, and a $20 copay every time I do go to a preferred provider as well as copays for my prescription drugs. My car insurance also has a deductible, but I'm less likely to have to pay that, versus one for health insurance.

Quite frankly, I can't afford that. If I DID have the money every month for health insurance, trust me--I'd have it. But as is, I have student loans to pay, car insurance to pay, rent, food, and other basic bills. I don't go out often and I don't waste my money--but I still can't afford health insurance.
