Are You Underinsured?

There is much attention (well, of the attention paid to health care, anyway) on the uninsured in America.  There are currently about 47 million uninsured Americans, and rising.  But what about the underinsured?  According to this article there are about 25 million underinsured Americans, adding up to a total of 72 million inadequately covered Americans.  That's staggering!  These are people who have insurance, but not enough.  They pay for health insurance, but when it comes time for the insurance company to cover their expenses, they get shafted.  I consider myself in this group.  How do you measure up?
