Nothing worse than paying for top cover and then all you can do is claim a couple of bux on some glasses lenses.

I'll be doing the same. I already pay $125/month for fuckall... ie. seeing the dentist every 6-12 months of which I get about 1/3 back. I pay for private health insurance mainly so that if something "non-urgent" but still fairly serious and painful comes up, I won't be put on a waiting list and will be out of pocket slightly less with a bit of luck.
I think they're going to drastically underestimate the number of people who drop their cover entirely, and thus put even further pressure on the public health system. Muppets.
