Wow! You are working fulltime and in Grad school parttime? That is an awful lot!
Medical insurance is really expensive. If I added up all my therapy, pdoc and med charges I probably wouldn't get to my premium. But it is really good coverage, so I know that if I need something it will be covered (i.e. covers Provigil when other plans doesn't). And it also covers my ex-husband and 2 kids. It seems a little better when you are covering more than one person.
I watch my friend who has no insurance. She should have gone into the hospital last night. But the only hospital that would take her is not a place she wants to be. So she decided that she would work really hard and promise not to do anything "bad" (rather than go to the bad hospital). She did well, slept the whole night and seems better today than yesterday. Not having insurance makes hard choices harder.
