There will be a lot of policies out there that will not cover a lot of stuff, and it could cost you your life.

Does your doctor order a PET scan for a heart, brain, or cancer situation? "A PET scan typically costs an average of about $4,900 for a PET scan of the whole body to $6,700 for the brain and $6,800 for the heart." (And I don't think that cost counts in the charges for a specialized technician to read and report out on the findings back to your doctor.) Not a covered laboratory service under your wonderful new plan? During my husband's chemo course, he had to have three or four of them (plus many CT-scans, laboratory tests, surgical biopsies, etc. etc.) Will the new and improved plans offered under TrumpDon'tCare cover all these procedures? I'm doubting it. Buh-bye.
