yes, good, but how does it work in an obamacare world?
Since we are not participating in the Obamacare scam due to cost and only one income, we are effectively uninsured. So... we enrolled in an rx savers plan at our local grocery store pharmacy which saves us big bucks, and pay cash at the same dr. we’ve been going to for 20 years... $58 for a regular office visit.... Beats the hell out of $700+/mo in insurance premiums with $6000+ deductibles. If the worst happens, the hospital will just have to work out a payment plan with us.
Makes me want to buy a condo in Kansas. We just got our 01/15/15 increase for ‘affordable care’ and I lost sleep all last night being upset. Since Obama has been in office our premiums went from $461 to the new $1,036 per month. Now, that is with a $5K deduction and no (THANK GOD) pre-existing conditions. As I told my husband, it does not pay to be healthy now (with insurance premiums, not real life!) as all they consider is your salary and age. But, the insurance companies were with him on the deal thinking they’d make more money and what they got was the usual political pinch!
Oh, a Dr. friend of ours joined a group somewhat like the one talked about. You pay $1K/yr. for his office services which includes about 3 hours of annual physical and chatting time. If you have 250 patients, it’s a good deal.
Something has got to crack this crazy out of control platinum healthcare web. Even ‘therapy’, never ending which should be done by the patient from a piece of paper and/or family-friend assistance, not $65/hr. home health folks.
