Nothing wrong with cutting back on things that are not really necessary. My health coverage will give me pretty much whatever I want, but I don’t take advantage of things without good reason. I’ve cut back in every other aspect of my life, why not healthcare?
I’m amazed at how many people use too much healthcare - especially those who don’t pay for it.
It doesn’t exactly help when my BC/BS premiums went from $250/mo to $600/mo just since Obama was elected.
I just can’t wait to see how much more it’s gonna cost me when its all free.
95% of healthcare is simply taking care of yourself.
I don’t believe pharmaceuticals can replace the simple stuff we can do ourselves, like eat well, exercise, and rest and drink water.
1 out of 5 older Americans and 4 out of 5 younger ones. People are cutting back on everything, healthcare included. It’s not all bad. People were running to the doctor for runny noses. For most people, those days are a thing of the past. The exceptions are the folks with the Cadillac health plans.
Reason
Co-pay give-away to the “investment company”
This is no surprise when you consider that the average driver spends over $100 per month more for gas than he did before obummer became ursurper-in-chief. Multiply $100 by number of drivers in America and annualize it would probably exceed the recent real estate bust we just had. Is anyone out there clever enough to figure this out?
My hubby has a lot of health problems, and I’m very healthy (at least to date). I rarely go to the doc, and have refused expensive hormones that I don’t consider necessary, because I am saving money to spend on my love. It’s just the way it is.
Sneaking up on mid 60s and avoiding doctors like the plague.
I’ll be damned if I will let someone charge a “professional” rate for a “Practice” where they offer no guarantee for their services. They and pharma also are focused on treatment rather than cures for a very good reason, $$$$$$$.
Come on, the human race only comes with 2 versions male and female and they have been the same for some time now.
Hell even my auto mechanic will guarantee his work and he works on thousands of various models.
Seems the highest priced self proclaimed “Professionals” doctors and lawyers feel they deserve a much higher pay scale without offering any guarantees.
Insurance has allowed doctors, Pharma, hospitals to over charge us for decades as most individuals were insulated from the actual cost or so they thought.
It is amazing how people will bitch when an insurance company refuses to pay for a NON-COVERED procedure but will not bitch about the cost submitted by the doctor/pharma/hospital.
