My insurance went up this year and my coverage came down...not to mention my prescription insurances really went up this year and the coverage significantly came down as well...In December when I filled one prescription it was $11.00 This month when I went in and filled it it was $30.00 and real problem with this...well the pharmacy showed me the bill without insurance and it was only $38.00....Thanks for the savings insurance but its almost not worth it...
Yeah. My health insurance coverage changed to this "BIG MONEY SAVING PLAN!!!!"
Needless to say, my seizure meds that were formerly 30/mo are now 50. Same with my allergy and my migrane meds, so now I am shoveling out 60/mo MORE in prescriptions alone. And those are just my regular meds.
But the worst part about the whole thing is that I needed to see a doctor today, and I found out that mine doesn't take my new insurance, and that I could not be seen by any NEW doctors until I got a regular check up first. Meanwhile, I am downing percocet and pretending that nothing hurts while trying to make phone calls to get shit resolved. And now, I have an appointment, thanks to the kick ass guy who works for TACs insurance, but its in Kaysville.
Oh yeah, and the plastic surgeons I need to finish getting Misha's face work done? NOT FUCKING COVERED. NOT ONE.
WOO!
And welfare crackwhores with 17 kids? Free health insurance, paid for by the state, all meds paid for, no co pays.
well I could go on a rant about Healthcare and Insurance carriers all day long but I won't. I'm not happy with the direction that healthcare is taking, but I see all sides points of view. Employer, Carrier, Providers and most of all patient's. Unfortunately not many people, least of all politicians do not understand healthcare. Hell I work for Anthem/Wellpoint and I still don't comprehend all the complexities involved with every part of healthcare just on the insurance side. Unfortunately do to rising costs, more of the cost/responsibility is being placed on the patient.
Not if I can help it. See, the thing is, I am happy to pay a higher premium if it mean that I get better healthcare. The way I look at it is like this. Right now I pay 140/mo through the company for crappy healthcare. When the time comes for Misha to have surgery (which, btw, comes to huge amounts-I just declared bankruptcy on over 200,000 just on her bills alone) I am happier to have paid 400/mo for good health care that covers LEAPS AND BOUNDS more stuff than the cheap on did and have to spend the rest of my life paying that off instead of being able to try to put money away for her to go to college or something
