I moved to Bermuda in the last 6 months or so from Canada. In British Columbia I had to pay the highest rate for government medical insurance which was right around $45. This is the first time I've had to purchase private medical insurance outside of Canada. I was expecting to pay around $1000 a month and was pleasantly surprised.

For a 38 year old male, non smoker, in good shape with no pre-existing medical conditions to speak of I had to fill out a brief questionaire and take a blood test.

Coverage includes Doctor's office and home visits, private ward hospital coverage, overseas coverage (don't have to purchase travel medical), treatement in the USA for anything not available in Bermuda (including Mayo clinic and other well known facilities) and prescription coverage. Total cost Just a hair over $300 a month.

The media would have us believe that Americans get fucked right over on this. How do your costs actually compare?
