Am I wrong to feel like this?

Question

Every gosh darn month I go to get my prescriptions filled the F***ing heathcare has raised there cost by 15.00 or more. Last month I went to get my syringes and the cost went from 5.00 to 30.00. Today I went to get my insulin and it we up from 30.00 to 45.00.

I was already paying 300.00 a month for prescriptions and now its more. I feel like every time I turn around I get screwed a little more. These d**n president canidates can campain till there blue in the face about healthcare reform and how they are going to change it but the truth is every dame president before them has said the same thing and nothing happens.

I am 5000 in debt on medical bills ( because our insurance it stupid high deductible c**p, where they won' t pay anything until you pay 2,000 each out of pocket first) plus paying 300+ a month in prescriptions and being that dh and I are both diabetics its not going to stop.

Am I wrong to feel screwed.

Answer 1

WOW! That's a huge jump. Yes indeed you have a right to be ticked off.

You may want to speak to your employer about getting a FSA ( flexible spending account)  or HSA (health savings account) This is a great way to get a help lower your out of pocket costs.

You can also look into an another health plan. Maybe a PPO that your doctor is a member of

I hope there is a silver lining to this cloud. Take care.
