If you read his post more carefully, you might have noticed that his
premium was for _catastrophic_ health insurance, which only covers
his bills when he is really sick.  If you were to ask nicely, he would
probably be happy to explain the details.

He covers the routine and minor costs out of his own pocket.  Since he
is less likely to file a claim, his premiums are much lower.

Whose reality?  Yours?  He is self-employed, which means that he is
acutely aware of the issues as both employer _and_ employee.
