Healthcare Costs - Reality
I just got a nice notice in the mail that my health insurance premium will increase in October. On top of my already hefty premium. Fantastic! I don't think President Obama realizes how many people are suffering in this economy. I'm tempted to write the President with a copy of the rate change notice. Only thing that stops me is that I'm certain I will receive a generic letter that won't remotely address my concerns.
I'm just an average person. I work hard. I don't abuse the health care system. Truthfully, I rather avoid doctors, if possible. I can graduate with my master's degree in December. All expenditures will be my burden. Can I afford the bills, particularly health care costs on my own? Not at the moment. How many times will my premium continue to rise? How many difficulties will I have with my new insurance (my insurance will change completely upon employment.) Not to mention, job prospects in December are slim. I don't want to be a burden to my folks. I've caused them enough grief. However, I'm questioning if I should push back my graduation a semester or two. Worrying has me worn out.
