	Hey Jim,

	Until 10/7 I had the health insurence from NASE (Nat. Assoc.
	for the Self Employed).  I paid $226/month for full coverage
	including dental, optical, and prescriptions.  It is one of
	the best programs going.  I cancelled because I'm dead broke
	and could no longer afford it.  As fate would have it, on 10/15
	I got ass-ended bu some guy in a Jeep and now have torn 
	cartilage in my left knee.  I'm hoping his insurance will pay
	upfront because I don't have the $20K for knee surgery.

	visit their site at http://nase.org or call them at
	(800) 232-NASE.

	IMO all insurances suck dead bunnies, but in a world of evils,
	this is the best one I have found.

	Best wishes.
