Cost of being sick

[DENNIS WILLIS]

Boy I just got back from the doctor today and bout fell out when they told me that my medicine was 566.00 for just 2 prescriptions, and thats for 1 month supply. They are just about like the gas company, BIG RIPOFFS.

Dennis I can empathize with your situation. I had $1000 dollar out of pocket, $627 co pay for two cat scans and a MRI and $422 at the drugstore and that’s was just for march. And I have pretty good Insurance.
Now I am sitting here trying to figure out how to pay theTax Man.

[DENNIS WILLIS]

Its all about money, they know that they have you by the short hairs. The meds. can;t cost that much to make. I will have my medicare in June but they said I make too much for part D, so I will try to get a insurance policy to help out.

[RIVER HAWK]

Man do I hear you. I am on Cobra insurance since I lost my job and I am paying $512 per month (single coverage)or $6,144 per year. I would like to complain more, but thank GOD for insurance. I had a 12mm stone removed and the total bill was $28,300. My share will be around $2000. If I had no insurance it could have ruined me. I will lose this insurance in March of next year if I do not find a job. This is scary.

[RagflyJigMan]

Yes I agree with you about the insurance situation. Hey River Hawk, I know a person like you will make it my friend. You'll get that job alot sooner than you think.

You are right the part D is for prescriptions and they said I get to much so I will have to get the side coverage, I will have to pay 140.00$ a month for the part A,B, and that is a chunk.

The cost of medical care in this Country is way out of control, this is a issue that should be addressed by our government right now, not the crap Obama care bull !!!!!!!!

[EARL KITCHENS]

Folks, this will continue to get worse as long as generation after generation are being raised up to depend on the government for hand outs. Handouts sound like a great and compassionate idea except someone else has to work and pay for it. The government can not give anything to anyone unless they take from someone else first. When the ones that work quit working because they are sick of working for the ones that don't work this Country will be in worse trouble than we are now.
