ugh how horrible! Sounds like around here. When we bought, practically every house sold within a week. Now the house down the street has been for sale for months. I hope the market picks up by the time we want to sell in a couple years. Good luck!
Here is an idea: keep Ben covered, but boost his deductible really high, so that the insurance will kick in only if (G-d forbid) something very expensive happens to him. This will keep his premium manageably low, and you still will be paying out of pocket for small, routine things that he needs ... but you're assured that, in case of a major crisis which you truly cannot afford, you won't go under. A young child just cannot be completely without coverage, and neither can a pregnant woman. They're too vulnerable to expensive incidents.
That is what my parents (who are lawyers, and have years of experience both with people who have insurance, and with people who were foolish enough to skip it) are insisting I do, now that my own health insurance is expiring. No matter how healthy I am, I am not free to skip insurance and pray I won't need it, because if I got into an accident or was stricken with a major illness, my parents would still feel obligated to pay for my care (despite anything I say, they're still my parents after all),

well, the insurance that's offered through stephen's work doesn't allow us to do that. it's just one size fits all group health insurance. but i suposse we could look into paying for it privatetly ...
having no insurance scares the pants off me!! i sure hope that house sells so you guys can do what you need to do....such a tough spot to be in =/
did ppp just go away? i know you do not have much internet access, but it seems that no one is doing it any more...or maybe it is just no one on LJ? maybe you could be a consultant for something...partylite, avon, something? you are really good a pressuring people :P and that could be a FUN something to do to get out of the house and also during the hours when Stephen would be home to watch Ben...

it's a shitty market and a really nice house that i guess no one who lives down there can afford.
