Comments • Very concerned about high monthly premiums. Can’t afford not to carry it, we could lose the farm. • With low farm prices, we will have to cancel our insurance due to the cost. • All we have is major medical…can’t afford better coverage, our deductible is still $5,000, this is ridiculous.
