Well, first he might have insurance either free or at a very reduced
premium from previous employment (I know my father does.)  If he
doesn't have it due to its not being provided, then he should have had
it all through his life, and I believe that most policies have a
balancing between the earlier years and later years in premium
amounts.  AND, if for SOME reason he is only currently getting
insurance, several hundred dollars a month is in my opinion a BAD
guess.

OK, who's next, step up to the line, kneel down, and put your head in
hole there for it...


BTW, I meant above that he embraces she, and vica-versa, as the
British say.
