The Health Care Reform Address Thread

Good question? They just told me they didn't cover emergency room visits. So I told them I'd just pay my doctor cash from now on and didn't need their service.

I have Anthem in Virginia like yourself and they have paid for two emergency room visits and sense we are in the same state we should have the same type policy.

And you didn't already know this? I've never heard of a plan that didn't cover emergency rooms visits in some way...as long as they were necessary.

I have Anthem too. My company is based in VA, but I recently visited the ER here in DC. I had bed bugs! Ouch. The doctor gave me a prescription for some lotion that was covered under my plan. This lotion cost $110, but I only paid $10 out of pocket. I thought it was a good deal.

God I really hate when you guys descend into a bipartisan back-and-forth divided right down party lines. These discussions have become such drivel.

Political talk on the Warpath was good for a while, but sadly nobody wants to analyze the issues or present ideas anymore. I don't think it's worthwhile for me to try to add to the discussion anymore.

For what it's worth, on these health care threads I basically skip everyone's posts but yours...if that makes you feel any better

(sorry, I really had to)

my girl tried to sign up for health insurance, she went with blue cross blue shield. when we got the ton of paper work and policy explanation it took me 3 hrs to figure out she had a $10,000 yearly deductible.

that means that she has to spend $10,000 in one year and anything after that is covered by her insurance. she joked, 'so what? am i only covered if i get into a plane crash?' . . . .sadly she was dead on. (pun intended)

something has to give with health care. i pay upwards of 200 plus bucks a month to have the best health insurance around. im worried that this new bill if passed would increase my costs plus burden the fed govt deficeit. when this is all said and done i will probably drop my premium health insurance and go the govt route become the leach i despise so much.

go skins!!

Well that doesn't exactly make me feel better.

Is your pain covered by your current health insurance? :)

I don't know if this emotional turmoil I'm experiencing is covered by Anthem. I'll check though.
