yes - single - 60 yrs old and in good health - no high blood pressure, no cholesterol drugs, no diabetes, not overweight (much, anyway).

Your comment sounds surprised - are you? Or did you think this was cheap? There are cheaper policies, with higher deductibles, or no co-pays at all - just meet your deductible, then they pay a percentage until your (annual) max out-of-pocket. But most people in this age band have had some type of treatment for something in the last 5 years that will bring the premiums up significantly.

Almost all of them now pay 100% for the annual preventive physicals (because they have to).
