I’m not sure anyone has a love affair with their health insurance carrier. It’s a highly overpriced and underwhelming product.
I may be alone in this, but I have always been more than satisfied with my Private Insurance in the past...before BO...so I cannot relate to those who are so dissatisfied.
I really hope there is a thundering resurgence of NON=government interference and private health insurance this year.
President Trump promised.
Promises made, hopefully kept this time.
My husband and I are on Tricare which is through the military. We are also on Medicare as we are both senior citizens
We are Medicare/Tricare Life total government controlled as hubby is a ret. SCPO of 20 yrs. Every year Medicare cost and Tricare co-pays go up, beyond our SS COLA raise. 7% this year on a 1.6% COLA RAISE.
The increase of tax deductibles which obama gave us leaves NO deductions other than the basic for short form. We don’t owe any debt. Other than utilities, house/car ins. cell phones and a zip line for the Computer, Property taxes. Had over $8,000 in out of pocket medical expense we couldn’t deduct. No vision, dental or hearing, unless it was Service connected as he has Flight deck hearing loss. We paid out of pocket for mine. My new lower denture doesn’t fit properly and it’s already been relined before I even got them. Between pulling the last 10 teeth, surgery for bone spurs, then Jaw reconstruction, cost as much as a full set of dentures or more. They will never fit, the lower jaw bone is deteriorating.
I am a DAV member and am covered totally by the VA which, while not perfect by any means, is in my estimation superior to any private coverage I know of today. There are some problems here with the VA covering patients like me who are treated at private hospitals, the problems seem to stem mainly from screwups by the hospital billing office. My wife acts on my behalf and she has had to go round after round with this and it usually ends with the VA having to contact the hospital and tell them that they must submit a bill in order to be paid rather than sending the bill to the patient and falsely claiming that the VA refused to pay. I am not joking.
