(22,308 posts)Then take $45.00 a month off that $214.00 since you are getting something worth that much and the OP states that tests are needed. Now we are at 169. Then assume that this person has car insurance and that the rates will drop with health insurance. Where will that put us? Around 150 maybe?
As you said in another post, someone healthy would not be seeing a doctor 4 times a year. I am doing something similar to have blood drawn so that my prescriptions can be adjusted. If we assume this is also the case for the poster who started this, we then have lower cost prescription drugs since they will be covered in all ACA plans. Also, you get one visit to a doctor a year with no copay, that drops us to ~110. It is also very likely that the other three visits will cost less than the $40.00 being paid now. These visits could even be to a doctor with a private practice instead of a low cost clinic (which is intended for low income persons).
What does that $214.00 look like now?
