It's shit like that. The insurance company obviously knows whats best for the patient I mean there wallets. You can say well this is a extreme case.
Bull shit my wife has a medical necessity to wear compression stockings. Now they are custom and cost 270+ and need new ones any time her leg shrinks more or 2 months.
I do have a FSA which I keep putting more and more in it each year, It's empty already. and it seems like I'm paying more and more for my shit.
Why does a pill I take cost 8$ per pill? . The reason I know the price is because I had to pay out of my pocket once because the online pharmacy I'm forced to use by my insurance had not processed my prescription. So I had to pay at a pharmacy full price.
Everyone wants to bitch and moan about universal health care. Get a bigger FSA, Do tax write offs blah blah blah. I pay more for my copays I pay more for my per month and I get less and less.
I'm trying to get my eggs all in order to buy a house so I can finally start actually itemzing and take advantage of the tax breaks.
BTW
I play WoW (Yes I'm a nerd) with quite a few Canadians and they've told me there system works pretty well. If we had a system in place that did not fuck people over it would be hard for the companies to compete.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sorry I'm sure I will be flamed as I know we have some die hard republicans on here. But blah fuck it I'm sick of watching my costs go up and my coverage go down. I also have the highelest level of insurance offered via my work.
I do feel people have a right to healthcare and insurance companies should have standards they keep.
