I know how fucked this country is over health insurance and how hard-working honest people get the sharp end of the stick. It totally sucks.

I am very glad that you are blogging about this as so many people don't understand that the middle class folks are getting ripped off right and left and nobody is doing anything about it! My SIL had cancer and her bills were just outrageous...even with the insurance that she had. My husband and I are not in a great boat right now with insurance either....he will qualify for Medicare but me....it'll be another 12 years! We are paying over $500 a month now for insurance. It is just awful. I feel for you, girl....but I hope you are getting better!!bichonpawzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344322575991668081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-65425008400690993662010-04-15T18:50:13.388-05:002010-04-15T18:50:13.388-05:00There are certainly improvements that need to be m...There are certainly improvements that need to be made for health care in this country. Unfortunately, with the latest bill passage, costs and access to doctors/facilities are only going to get worse. All the taxes and new rules are going to break everyone's back.<br /><br />When I went without insurance for several years and had medical/hospital bills, I paid what I could and negotiated everything at a lower price (about half). It took me 3-4 years to pay it all off, but I did it. Just tell them that you don't have the money with all the other bills and come up with acceptable payment plans. They can't get it out of you if you don't have it.<br /><br />And you really might want to consider getting a high deductible insurance plan sometime. That would be better than having absolutely nothing. We all hate to pay insurance (health, car, house, life) because it adds up to a lot of money going out the door with (normally) nothing to show for it. But when the poop hits the fan, then we are glad that we have it.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-7304164255949708262010-04-15T18:13:58.941-05:002010-04-15T18:13:58.941-05:00But had I not talked with that one for $1150 I'...But had I not talked with that one for $1150 I'd be paying $1150 instead of the discounted $500.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299205162628367889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-62595141372361826432010-04-15T17:51:57.563-05:002010-04-15T17:51:57.563-05:00I'm with Sally!

I remember when I was without ins. for a while (before medicare) the dr office visits were double what my ins. had been paying. It doesn't make a lick of sense to me; they can't give a break to people? I do remember, though, from the past: if you haven't talked with the "company" and send in a small payment; if they accept it, then they HAVE to continue to. Don't know if this helps or not.
