Healthcare
So I went to the doctor yesterday to get some bloodwork done and I didn't think anything of it, like how this affects my family just going there. I'm there and I pay my $20 co-pay and I get tested for 12 different things. When I got home I had my dad explain how our insurance works and if they cover this and he told me that they don't cover any of these payments and that we would get the actual bill later from the insurance. Apparently when Obama took office insurance changed for us and the only way we get covered is if we pay up to a certain amount in out-of-pocket expenses. He says it's never been this way for us and at this point I got really mad. Why do we pay for healthcare if they don't cover a dime of the costs? For us we have to pay $2,000 in fees before our insurance starts covering things, but when the does the average person actually hit that limit? It's ridiculous. This seemingly useless doctors visit just cost my family $250, money that we don't have, which is why we pay for healthcare. Obama's healthcare plan may help the very poor but it's certainly not helping single income middle class families.

I get what you're saying, it seems like Obamas healthcare plans were only worried about the rich and the poor. Taking from the rich to give to the poor and that was the only thing they focused on. They didn't focus on the possible consequences of their plan or maybe they did and they miscalculated very poorly.
ReplyDeleteYou know I think the doctors who have their own offices or the hospitals that they hold residence in are smart enough to write their own prices for their treatments. Why does the government have to regulate how much a simple procedure (like blood tests) or other maybe larger scale procedures cost?
