Very fortunate here as well

Premiums for a family $68 month no deductible
RX, home healthcare, DME $0 for everything
doctor any type $15 co-pay
hospital admit $100 co-pay
ER visit (no admit) $50 co-pay

no % of anything ever but I have to stay in network or I get taken to the cleaners

Wow, I can't believe how good some of your insurance is! And your premiums are so low! I look at ours and it makes me <b>SICK</b>! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif" border="0"> I don't know the breakdown for our meds, but my husband has told me what we pay for both of our prescriptions. Here are our costs:

Premium: <b>$133/<u>week</u></b> <i>(Yes, "week"! It's not a typo!)</i>

Deductible: $2500

Prescription Co-Pays: <b>$750/month</b>

I think he said the $750 doesn't include the Tobi & Pulmozyme copay. We pay about $40 for Pulmozyme, not sure on the Tobi.

I have Medicare for Primary and hubby's BC/BS for 2nd, so I don't usually need to pay the office copays

I can't believe someone would even hint that the working shouldn't have to help. Not all people that are recieving your help are people that aren't working. FYI---I am a single mother & I have worked a second job just to pay for my daughters CF care, that's not counting the unpaid FMLA that I have to take when she's sick or the cost of the gas to drive to a clinic thats 50 minutes a way but I can't get help because I work & "make too much money" if more people were able to help over here we might not have people who can't afford medical at all regardless of their problems. I am more than willing to let my dollars go toward the people who need help medically because I know that one day I might be there & i don't have CF much less my daughter being there when im not around & needing something. could you imagine the people out there with CF that don't get help-=-they go without thus shortening thier years all because the "working class" shouldnt have to help them out because they CANT work, not because they dont WANT to, come on, are you kidding me. I hope when the day comes that you can't work the people who are paying your medical bills are much more gracious about helping the "lower" class

im not at all voting for socialized medicine either--like others i just want a health system that takes in to account that not all people are able to afford the cost that goes along with having a medical condition, much less one that you can not control, one that you can do nothing about.
