Gotta love health insurance

[rbeau30]

HA. I lectured my sons DR about that the other day when he asked. Told him it was none of his business and got the beginning of a "Its a child safty issue.." speech.

When I cut him off and said "If its a child safety issue than why didn't you ask how I secure my household cleaners or if I have a hot tub?"

Blank stare.. Hahaha

Wife said why didn't they ask you if you had outlet covers on all your outlets? Or if your medicine cabinet has locks on em?

Steak knives? you know that Knife block needs to be away from children. I think I would just leave all that stuff on the stupid questionnaire blank from now on. You want some information about my child's health? Look it up in his records!

Pretty sure I stole it from someone here but damn it felt good to use it. Just wish I could have walked out at that point.

Health care costs went up for me
Kaiser went up $40 a pay period and the copays did too

The 1% cola I got this year, was eaten up by health care, I am $11 poorer each payperiod now

1300/month family coverage here.

1300/month family coverage here.

Yep $1000 here for wife, one child and me. Affordable my a$$! My uncle has a pre existing condition and since obamacare wont deny anyone, he had to go that route when he lost his job....all for the low low price of $1700/mo for just him.

1300/month family coverage here.

Same here, $1292, but the doesn't include the 200 per month for RX that effing Kaiser doesn't cover for the Mrs.

Oh and thats after the so called discount rate for no tobacco and company contribution.

Where the hell is my subsidy?

I had an MRI done June 22nd last year. Every few weeks, my insurance company would send a letter asking me to detail my pre-existing conditions. I would comply, and a month later, I'd receive another request. I had my doctor's office reply, a month later, another. My doctor's office sent my entire medical history. A month later, another request. Repeat ad naseum for 7 months. Multiple times I'd call and ask for an update, be told to give it two weeks. Finally, I went to my company's HR department and asked them to get involved. 3 days later, they agree to pay out for the claim. 204 days after my appointment. And 4 months after I paid the entire thing myself (they billed my insurance $981, they billed me $1,911 when I agreed to pay it). As of now, I get to wait two weeks for a refund. In the meantime, I'm paying damn near criminal interest rates on the credit card balance that I had to use to cover the visit.

This past weekend, I had to re-enroll in my coverage. My current plan has been discontinued, so the only option was to get a plan that costs triple over my old plan. Let's hope they actually give a fuck about me if something happens this year.

Hmmm... reminds me to ask if you understand what the phrase "Devils Advocate" means.

Because clearly most of this forum doesn't understand it at all.

I was JUST thinking, wasn't pony the biggest PPACA fan on this board?
There were more than just "devil's advocate" questions. I seem to recall him in defense several times.
