7. Here's the shitter - our current insurance doesn't cover mental health

We have to pay full price for dr visits. So I'm spacing out my therapist visits with my med check visits. It sucks. My therapist is awesome and I was seeing him every 2-3 wks now it's every 6-8.

When my husband was picking insurance plans he just looked to see if our dr was in network, but didn't check to see if mental health visits were covered. There isn't any supplemental we can buy either.

It's frustrating and honestly I'm so sick of health care being seen as a privilege
