Re: Obamanomics: Healtcare Reform or European-Modeled Socialized Medicine?
I'm not real clear on how the proposed plan works. But from what I've heard, the companies that offer insurance to their employees will be charged more, thus the worker's premium's will go up. Is this correct?
All I know is that I haven't had health insurance since the end of 2007. It's been wildly expensive. My prescriptions cost us $388/month. And that's after I stopped taking one that I still need but costs another $300, and we just cannot afford $688. That's more than we spend in groceries!
I have lots of medical bills stacked up, but I have other things I need to pay first, like my mortgage and electric bills. The only county hospital is 50 miles away, and the average wait time is about 12 hours. To go see a doctor cost me $260 for 10 minutes of talking and for her PA to take my blood pressure. But we don't qualify for Medicaid by a long shot.
Hopefully when my husband is hired on full-time with this company, the insurance won't suck. The contract company insurance was $600/month and they wouldn't pay for ANYTHING until we met a $6k deducible. Yeah, right!
