Yes, the article actually suggested that individually purchased health insurance might make sense for many people, and cost less than expected!

Of course, there's always got to be a wet blanket. In this case it's Ms. Andrews of the Connecticut Health Policy Project, who claims that the small-group market is in better shape than the individual market.

That would be the small-group market that covers employers with 3 to 9 employees for example, where the incidence of offering health benefits dropped from 56% to 45% of firms from 1999 to 2007, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (http://tinyurl.com/6z5xfa).

That's not what I'd call great shape.
