Tuesday I am supposed to go for an eye exam - not exactly routine. My year old prescription is not functioning properly and there is something weird going on with my peripheral vision which requires two tests annually - $700. SIGH. Endocrinologist wants to do another biopsy on my thyroid - alson not covered by insurance. $8600 per year in premiums and deductibles before I collect anything. The prescription discounts are a joke - $3.50 on a drug that costs me $55/month.
The new job offers health insurance coverage and pays 50% of the premium. Meantime I consider myself lucky to be able to pay the bills coming in - with my retirement funds.
I know I am not as bad off as most but the greed pisses me off. All my health insurance does is provide a buffer between me and losing my home incase of a serious illness.
Did I mention the cost of my last oil delivery????
heh heh
