Obamacare. My health insurance premium went up $250/mo when Obamacare went into effect - and I pay more per office visit and have a higher deductible. I know families whose premiums went up $500/mo.Goodbye disposable income.
We now have an $8000 deductible. It is killing us.
My youngest daughter spent 4 days in the hospital early May and we owe $4200 on top of all the other costs from the year.I don’t go to the doctor unless it’s an emergency. I owe $600 for a colonoscopy from November. We had to pay $500 for my daughter’s MRI up front in late May.
We pay over $500/mo premium and office visits went up too. Pharmacy went up too, a lot! This all since 2010. We are screwed. Less than 6 months for a late bill and it goes to collections. I go from obsessing about paying the medical bills to not caring.
