I really, really don't want to sound like I am questioning you, but I have never heard of a policy that does what you say at that price, including group policies. Most policies have a long list of what is and what isn't covered.. chemo, diabetes, renal failure, etc etc etc..

Even my Medicare insurance with a supplemental from a 'good' insurance company is not much better than that. Depending on what else you have covered, maybe not as good. I pay premiums TOTAL of about $140/mo..to Medicare AND the supplemental. I have co-pays- $15/25,..$150/day hospital room up to I think 4-5 days, then free. etc etc.

May I ask what insurance company you were with?
If the rest of your coverages compare with mine, you are one lucky dude.

Sure. The ACA gives us fantastic tools to bring single payer about. jeff47 Nov 2013 #20

I don't think you know what single payer is zipplewrath Nov 2013 #42

There's more to the ACA than the exchanges. jeff47 Nov 2013 #46

What public options zipplewrath Nov 2013 #57

I'm talking about what will happen in the future, not what this one law literally does. jeff47 Nov 2013 #73
