"Claim you do recreational sailing" or as the law calls it fraud. Voila

Sure, just take a trip out to Buck Island with Capt Llewellyn once a year.:D

Many people living in the VI do recreational sailing/boating, myself included. For many it's their career and livelihood.
Wish I'd known about this when I was a charter captain.

This might be an option for those that aren't lucky enough to have health insurance through their workplace, for whom there are no other options on island and can afford it.

$750 is not bad if deductible is low and there is 100% coverage after deductible is met. BTW BEFORE OBAMACARE I was paying $195 with $3000 deductible and 100%coverage.

After OBAMACARE the same policy went up to $800 per month and $10K deductible with 80% coverage. The bonus; covered maternity and contraceptives. Perfect for 50 yo healthy male after vasectomy. Yeah mr prez. Thank you for that finger (or two) in my rectum.
