I received a letter stating the policy I was currently enrolled in which was a low deductible family coverage plan is no longer an option. However they stated I can pick a new plan modeled after the affordable care act which cost more and offered a higher deductible and less coverage. I was comfortable playing 495 a month, it covered everything and for my entire family I had a 8k deductible with zero out of pocket once it was met for a family of four as well as zero charges for preemptive care, speciality visits, 5-10 dollar prescriptions, etc.
Now I can't even get the same coverage without paying much more out of pocket for my wife and sons medications and speciality doctor visits. I loath government and their phoney altruism. |
that's so messed up. $6000 a year is already outrageous.

The medical treatment for sickle cell is extremely expresive, however they covered it; treatments and medication which without insurance would have ran over two thousuand a month. The insurance gave me discounts on service even before the deductable was met, never had issue with the insurance company and 've been extremely happy with them for ages.
And yeah, 6 grand a year plus the 8 might seem like a lot, however if the information on the government boards about the affordable care act price and coverage are right, I am paying more than that for inferior coverage!
This whole thing feels like it's a bad Tim and Eric Awesome Show skit that no one but the guys doing the skit get; maybe they don't even understand it either.
