However, $12K out-of-pocket is still better than losing 30% of my paycheck to Obamacare
I wonder where you got that 30% figure from? Here (Paris, France) Social Security is actually 15% of my paycheck, the other 15% going for retirement and unemployment benefits.
It seems to me that you would have much to gain with such a system, which mutualizes costs.
I suppose this inflated estimate of the cost of Social Security is the type of FUD that is spread by people who stand to lose a lot of money if they stop collecting insurance premiums. Yet health care in the US costs 14% of GNP, compared to 11% in Europe(*), where everybody has access to medical care, which is far from being the case in the US.

I haven't tried Strawberry perl, but it certainly worked out of the box for me with ActiveState. Did you install DBD::Pg?
May be not out of the pool, but certainly out of the surf. When it's up, they'll screen swimmers and take out those that don't seem to handle it properly (trying to jump over the waves rather than diving under them for instance), so as to prevent accidents.
