If you are employed and have health insurance here, I've been told a letter like the following from your employer is sufficient. I am going to apply in 2 days for Finland, so I'll be able to tell you in a week. :)

Good luck.

For German consulate it does not work. You need to get an insurance who has a office in schengen country. I got my insurance from Travelex ( as suggested by German consulate) cost approx US$ 35. Consulate told me clearly that he will not accept the visa application without insurance even though I summited my insurance papers which shows it is valid for abroad. They were only approving insurance who has office in schengen countries.This Travelex name was given by consulate along with the phone number and was advised to get insurance and send the fax to consulate.
