PPO vs HMO health coverage?

just me asked:


I need to choose between a PPO and HMO plan at work. They cost about the same. Any ideas of which way to go? The PPO has a $200 deductible and covers 90% of hospital stuff. While the HMO covers 100% and has no deductible, I have to ALWAYS go to a Primary Care Physician first (if I want to then go to a specialist like a dermatologist or allergist, etc). Any thoughts anyone?
PS: The plan is just for me (no dependants or spouse). I’m relatively healthy. I don’t travel that much. And I have no doctors currently (relatively healthy + don’t like to go to the doctor!). :)
