Showing Original Post only (View all)I finally got health insurance [View all]
only because I got a full time job. It was tough going two years without insurance and for those of you who don't have insurance did you know
1. Dr. office visits are 40% off if you don't have insurance
2. Lab work is also 40% off too
3. Emergency room is also 40% off
I'm not sure if this is universal. I didn't know it until I started racking up health bills then I got that call from UCONN looking for their money. Once the person on the other end of the phone realized I was without insurance he lowered all my bills by 40%
I also ate differently (these things I hope to continue) and took herbs. When I felt sick I would google different foods and herbs to prevent my sickness from getting worse.
maybe this will help someone not insured.

That's truly shocking. My sister got quotes like that but she's a self employed attorney who does..

Like my sister. She stayed with the insurance she had because the duductable was lower and no co-pay

You estimate your yearly income and adjust payment accordingly, from what I have seen.

You should bother. Medicare is great. At least get "grandfathered" in to it.
