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.

My health insurance is worthless. My premium has more than doubled since Obamacare started. And it went from $20 co-pays to a $6500 deductible. 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.

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.

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.

I'm lucky my wife gets great health benefits. Otherwise we would be hurting right now.
