I get my health insurance from our state farm bureau, farmer members buy
insurance as a group, it still costs $300 a month, but the coverage we get is
very good.
I have seen rates increase by 2000% in the last 20 years, for example I sold
tomatoes off my tailgate for 50 cents a pound in 1980 and if you multiply
that by 2000% they would have to sell for $10 a pound today, I believe health
insurance costs will someday be the death of many small farms...Bob.
