$26,000 x 20% = $5,200 per month OUT OF MY POCKET. PLUS, I have to pay a $5,000 Annual Out-of-pocket FIRST before insurance pays a dime. Do the math. I'm lucky. I have insurance. Even more lucky, my oncologist was able to get me into a study. Otherwise, I would have ended my life.
Who in their right mind wants to lose EVERYTHING to a catastrophic illness or injury? Who wants to see their family surrender EVERYTHING to bankruptcy to cover medical costs?
When will humans learn to share & not be so damn greedy? Let's take care of the lives we have before we start killing more with shitty laws & more psychotic, anti-social behavior?? I too, have lived in countries with socialized medicine. Yes, there's a wait. But wanna know a secret???
Glad you're still here Pal. I hope you have a good support system. 💙✌️
I have one of the best private insurance plans, I live in metro Denver, and I STILL have to wait to see certain docs, my primary has an 8 month wait for new patients! I STILL have to go thru referrals. And I still pay $5000 every Jan before my insurance United HC pays a damn dime!
