Insurance is so messed up. We never know what is covered or how much things cost up front. We just get a bill with a bunch of numbers that don't make any sense, and pay it.Gern Blansten said:
wow that's crazy....no, my insurance doesn't cover but I would be very happy with $60/month. I'm not sure if that is because of my overall deductible or what exactly.mace1229 said:
Is it not covered by your insurance?Gern Blansten said:This is fucking crazy. I had a blood clot in my leg a few years ago and got put on Eliquis.
Seems that I have a weird gene that makes clotting more likely. Dr told me that I would probably be on Eliquis for life.
Had a "discount" coupon from the maker for $10/month on the prescription that just ran out. Current cost is around $510/month at my pharmacy and the generic version is not available in the USA.
I signed up with a Canadian Pharmacy and will pay $173/month for the same prescription. They offered the generic for a bit less but I went with the brand for now.
The USA healthcare system is the fucking stupidest system in the world.
I will be in the same boat in a few months. A year and half ago I have multiple blood clots, including several in the lungs. Had no symptoms other than I was having difficult breathing.
Because I had no pain or symptoms, the doctor said I'll be on Eliquis for life, because next time I probably won't survive and was lucky to this time. Who knows who long I had them before I had difficulty breathing.
I have the Eliquis discount for $10, but that runs out in about 6 months. But my copay is only $60 for it when the coupon is out. Still don't want to have to pay $60/month for life though.
Funny thing is, this all happened the day after the Indy show in 2023. It was the only show I had tickets to that leg and was supposed to make the 8 hour drive. But my parents forgot they agreed to watch the kids that weekend, so I ended up selling them last minute. Had I gone, I'd been on an 8 hour car drive home on the day I ended up going to the hospital. More than likely I would have been too stubborn to stop anywhere and who knows what would have happened.
I figure I can live with the $178/month for three months then I'll get the generic at $114/month
I am on the same medication as far as I can recall it doesn't cost so much. Maybe 60/mo. Which is really messed up reading these comments.
Instead of Colbert and Epstein this is the type of conversation Democrats should be pounding away at the public again and again and again.
Not just the two months before election day but all the time. They should be getting into the streets of rural America exurban America and engage with voters non-stop.
High costs should be explained to voters it takes more than one Administration term to change things. For generational change they need a commitment from voters to make health care more affordable.
Democrats are willing to blame voters for being unintelligent yet they run around the Epstein Colbert circus Non-Stop instead of engaging and educating voters every year every month
The case should be made to voters If they want to see results they need a long-term commitment to dems. They need to be making this case over and over and over again
yet what are Democrats doing? this Epstein (and colbert)stuff which means nothing politically.
Yeah maybe Trump should be charged from but they're never going to get him out of office with these attacks0 -
the democrats did this. remember the $30 cap on insulin that trump undid during his first week in office?Lerxst1992 said:mace1229 said:

Monetization of healthcare. Just make it a commodity. Let the market decide. Everything is fine, both sides are the same.

Anybody here an "insurance expert"?
Anybody here deal with obamacare, work health insurance, and Medicare professionally? I have some questions that I really dont mind being discussed out in the open but I would prefer to have them answered by someone who knows exactly what they are talking about. Which basically eliminates 99% of you folks. Hahahahaha
That's a joke BTW.

Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

It's still amazes me to hear how some/most GOP talk about it. Graham was on one of the Sunday shows going on about the "affordable care act" resulting in increasing premium costs each year like we never experienced that before.benjs said:

i am telling you, during this shutdown, trump is going to put back in place the subsidies on the condition that it is now called trumpcare.
it will be the exact same thing that he has been shitting on for 10 years, but he will sell it to his people as the greatest thing ever. and they will believe him. just watch."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
