I pay 3600 dollars a year for health insurance for my husband and myself, and thats good. My last employer, if I would have wanted health insurance for us it would have cost $5200... $400 a month. I worked at a RETAILER for heaven's sake, that was almost half of my salary.
We went without health insurance for years because there was just no way possible to make the ends meet with it. Once I got the job I have currently, it even took us a little while to be able to afford the copays so we could go, how ridiculous is that??
Now we have both gone to the doctor and gotten check ups, he has severe ADD and taking medicine for it has opened up his whole world, and they are pretty sure I have PCOS and IRS (going back tomorrow hopefully for a diagnosis).
How insane to have to wait years to find out what is wrong with you so that you can feel better and actually have a decent standard of living?
The health insurance situation makes me sick mentally and physically, haha. |
