I'm so pissed off right now...
They FORCE people to turn to disability by taking measures like this.
My daughter and I would both be eligible- so maybe that's
what I'll do.
I considered $500 a month high, but $800???
I mean WTF?
Fortunately my GP is a great guy and when I told him
we were losing our insurance, he said "No problem"
just come in and I'll charge you $85 for an office visit
and give you what ever treatment you need under that.

The fear factor is what made us decide to get Cobra-
Fear of catastrophic illness or accident- my daughter is high risk
for that type of thing. (Bi Polar disorder- HIGH cost medications every month)

This country SUCKS when it comes to medical care unless
you are a millionaire.
