PS: Unless you have specific needs, probably skip on vision insurance, and just use Walmart or Costco.

It's "insurance" in the same way paying someone not to burn down your business is "insurance." Simpler and often cheaper to pay out of pocket.

Unless you're in New Orleans.

Vision and dental insurance is typically not worth it. If you have a LOT of issues, you might break even.

Often schools will have a health plan / HMO style office to address common issues.

I would recommend paying into the school health plan if it is offered and it is reasonable.
