I am never going to the doctor again
for something that is not totally urgent and life or death. Thanks, health insurance. Thanks, America.
You've taught me my lesson. Loud and clear.
I really need to move.
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: I am never going to the doctor again
Many docs are skipping insurance red tape and giving the patient the option of setting up a retainer. It seems to work better for most patients.
I have never heard of a retainer for doctors. Very interesting. It is too bad doctor visits seem to only be for the rich now.
You're kidding, right?
That's what they said at my old company. Because DH and I were both on it, the deductible was $7500, I believe. Then when we were both on the one at his company, it was $4500. I have to pay $1800 for lab tests.
I'm so glad that I have Kaiser now, even though I'm not a fan of the limitations. $20/visit + $10/prescription. I went to the dermatologist yesterday to get a mole checked. He removed it and they'll be biopsying it. The cost? $20. If I were still on either of the old insurances, I'd probably have to pay at least a few hundred, probably much more. Stupid healthcare costs.
This is probably why I'll stay in England...sigh. I went into debt the last time I was living in the US and had to have a surgery...never again!
Meh. As my health costs goes up, my freedom seems to be going down, down, down.
My prescription: Soak a copy of the Constitution in Neosporin, microwave on high for 15 seconds, and apply as a poultice to the affected area. Repeat as necessary until death.
