I actually want the health insurance for other reasons (i.e. back problems, what if I get in an accident, etc). It did cross my mind recently that I might want to go back on meds... I had an appointment with one of the community mental health clinics with a supposedly sliding-scale, but once they mentioned bringing in pay stubs, I didn't bother. My experience with that is that if you make over 15K or so a year, you can "afford" to pay essentially "full price". They never take expenses v. income into consideration, or the fact that my rent takes 1/2 my pay (I live in L.A.). Thanks for the suggestion, though--I appreciate the thought!
