Post by: Tresbn00 on June 27, 2019, 06:41:33 pm: My health insurance is good (CIGNA) but not anything like it was ten years ago. The cost of my health insurance has more than doubled, deductibles have doubled, and things not covered by insurance have almost tripled. My wife had breast cancer about fifteen years ago and everything was covered with no deductibles. If we were to go through cancer again, at today's more costly insurance, we would be forced to go bankrupt. I have turned down medications prescribed by my doctor, who stated that they were needed for a dangerous deep veinous thrombosis (blood clots), but my insurance would not pay for the drug and I was not going to shell out hundreds of dollars--I am kind of stubborn. My doctor, astonished at the insurance company's lack of responsibility, gave me three months worth of free samples.

I can't afford to go to the doctor now at all, even for minor things. I can't imagine having a major medical issue.

Must be nice. I like millions of other legal citizens do not have the luxury of having health insurance.

That is the thing. Thought about this yesterday. You can have insurance and then you can't afford to go to the doctor because you either can pay for the visit (because the deductible is close to $10,000) or you can pay the premium and not use the insurance. Most people cannot afford both. Thus why more and more do not have insurance. And things are just going to get worse.

Post by: aflyingmonkey on June 28, 2019, 10:58:34 am: I have Cigna PPO & it is covered under my employee benefits... I still have deductibles & copays & they definitely are higher than they were before ObamaCare, but they are still manageable. Still the $20.00 office visits & for meds add up fast especially for a family of 5.... but still I am thankful to have great insurance.

Post by: bshee58 on June 28, 2019, 03:19:37 pm: Mine is really good, have co-pay, don't have no out of pocket expenses, pay practically nothing for my medicines, if it's less than $3 that's all I pay.

Post by: nmbrown863 on June 29, 2019, 06:41:08 am: Ugh I hate it. Seems like we pay so much and then if we ever need services it still costs a small fortune.

Post by: lywb2168 on July 01, 2019, 05:41:59 am: Mine is thru my employer, and of course I have deductibles and co-insurance (which I think is the most ridiculous thing ever) but is not as bad as I have heard people. My company have HSA and give us about $1,200 a year to help cover the deductible, that is better than nothing. The only thins is that I have to cover the deductible in full before the start paying, and it is frustrating.

Post by: JaniceSW on July 02, 2019, 09:06:25 am: I have a Medicare Advantage plan with a very low monthly payment. It seems to be good with low co-pays for basic medical needs. However, the proof is in the pudding as they say, and I have never had anything serious up to this point. If I had something serious which required long term and /or in-depth care, I don't know!

Post by: braggin on July 02, 2019, 09:13:10 am: I have never in my life had such great health insurance as I do now - Medicare with supplemental insurance. Not only does it cover almost everything, all bills are taken care of without even showing up at my mailbox.
