WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT:
If you are a Christian you can join a medical sharing ministry. Ours is Samaritan. Do some research, Freepers. I get so frustrated reading these threads. People are so used to the insurance mindset that they can’t even imagine another way.
Medical sharing ministries are like catastrophic coverage. They don’t cover preventive care. For that, we have retained the services of a physician with a direct care practice. For about 160.00 per month office visits, yearly physicals, some medications, EKGs, minor surgical procedures are covered. We shop for prescription discounts(none of us three are on regular medications)for the rare antibiotic, etc.
Total monthly share for Samaritan for family = 405.00
Plus fee for direct care physician +160.00
equals 565.00
This option is exempt from the Obamacare rules.
It should be mentioned that these ministries require a profession of faith, will not cover a pre-existing illness, and will not cover you if you smoke, or drink in excess.

Thanks a lot DIMs/LIBs/RINOs. Thanks. I despise ever one of you. May you and your families rot.
