I'm just trying to figure out how to get cheaper healthcare. I make about $40,000 a year. We are a single income family. With our current healthcare from our employer, it's $80 bi-weekly for our healthcare that has a $10,000 deductible. So everything we go to the doctor for, we have to think twice about it.
My daughter had to go to ER a few months ago and the bill for a 1 day stay was about $2,000. We have to pay everything out of pocket until we reach the $10,000. It is killing us.
I keep on calling around and trying to get quotes for healthcare on my own. Everytime I tell insurance sales people what we're paying, they tell me "You're getting an awesome deal!!" I don't think it's an awesome deal.
Seems with having two kids under 2, every other day, I have med bills in the mail and it's killing me to pay them all and still feed the family.
There has to be other people in this world that are in the same boat. I don't think I get paid that crappy, but I know it's not great. We shouldn't be living so bad if we have, what everyone keeps telling me, awesome insurance.
What would be great is if someone could tell me some loophole so we could get Medicade or Medicare or something government sponsored. We do get a little bit of government assistance but I think that's ending after this month. I asked or rep and he said we don't apply for anything government related.
