I didn't mean to be all "only cool people with cool jobs get insurance." Heh. I was just saying that's one way around the problem.

As for your health insurance querry, I'd need to do a little research on California rates, but my guess is that it's not gonna be particularly affordable...health insurance, out of pocket, rarely is (When I paid for it myself, it was $145 a month here in KY, and then had to pay $20 co-pays on all doctor visits & prescription fillings...that was 2 years ago).
I'll see if I can get a more definite answer for ya.

I also, if it helps, have fully comprehensive car insurance in the UK.
Thanks again, and sorry for boring everyone else.

Can you do this on a temporary (say, three-monthly) basis, Mandee?

As an alternative to marriage, California (I believe) allows even breeding-capable couples the option to register their "domestic partnership" in a simple but bloodless legal formality. That would qualify one of you for the other's benefits.
(But maybe you're already married. I can't recall.)

Then maybe you should investigate coverage for medical catastrophies (e.g., serious illness, horrible accidents) for three months, and not a standard medical policy. These sorts of policies do exist, and they're a bit cheaper.

renter's insurance? what's it all aboot then?
among my friends in the uk, maybe half of them would have the equivalent (contents insurance), but afaict no one has renter's insurance here. do people have it? i'm getting quotes around $10-20/month. seems cheap? is that reasonable? or is there a reason why no one has it?

I pay $16/month for $15k. I've never shopped around to see if I can get more coverage or a cheaper price.
I don't know why more people don't have it - I didn't until five or six years ago just because I'd never heard of it.
