My biggest gripe is that my medical insurance pays for 7$ toward my birth control which costs 43$/mo. However, if I were to get pregnant, they'd cover the tens of thousand dollars it'd take for me to deliver a child + the child's healthcare for 21 years. I think this is pretty stupid. It would make much more sense for the government to pay a large portion of the costs of birth control since it would likely cut down on welfare and med ins costs.
Other than that, though.. i've gotten a LOT more $$ out of my insurance policy than i've put in, so i'm not complaining too much.

Happily, I am healthy.
I am one of those people lucky enough to be able to answer "No current medications" on doctors' questionnaires. No major surgeries. No major broken bones. No named diseases.
I do have to keep an eye on my intraocular pressure, though.
When I was younger, on through several years out of college, my eyesight was realllly good, perfect. I thought I'd been spared my mother's genes, which my brother got. I thought I would not end up nearsighted, but in 1998 I realized I was not seeing distant objects clearly. Went in for an eye checkup, and found I needed corrective lenses. Bummer. But not the end of the world, like I used to think it would be. I have a pretty mild prescription for my glasses and contact lenses, but my pressure tests showed a little high on the spectrum, so we have to watch it. Some day I might end up on eye drops to prevent glaucoma, but with a little luck it'll stay just fine and I won't have to medicate.
But with all the things that could happen to a body, I consider myself very very fortunate. I can't complain about my health. It's good.

My health?
Much better than most people my age! No known problems, not even arthritis.
I attribute it to 50 years spent avoiding hospitals and medical doctors.
The gripe I have with the system I am forced into is that it is a mighty bureaucracy, unethical in its dealings with its clients, prone to billing errors (always in its favor) and slow.
