The only real Insurance Co that is not included in al lthis is Blue Cross/ Blue Shield. That is why to have their service you will pay alot more up front.
There is a nice workaround now in many states to lower the out of pocket with BCBS plans. You can up your deductible to say 10,000.00 and lower your monthly insurance bill from say $600.00 to 250.00 and then take out a plan that will cover the $10,000.00 for say $100.00 a month, so you get the same medical coverage for $250.00 less per month. It's called a GAP plan, have her look it up if she is not aware of it.

adding a qualifier here... those are average numbers given, and not fixed prices. I don't want anyone suing me.

That is all we need when you stop and think about it. The insurance companies prices reflect the pharachutical prices. Its totally outrageous.

My daughter spends 600 a month for insurance and this is through the medical field. She now works for a Cardiologist office. I would love to chat with their patients on a daily basis. LOL Im sure I would be arrested.

LOL MNTruthseeker!!

I agree that many things are not what they seem...Did you even listen to the two clips I posted at the first post????

If one takes the 91 essential nutrients...there is grant (USA PEOPLE PAID) covered research on nutritional supplementation that would prevent 90% disease & degeneration....But big pharma doesn't let it in and FDA has to step up and "protect" the drug company investments even when it kills people(Celebrex,vioxx,etc) because it would be "TERRIBLE" if people didn't even get sick to begin with or reverse many diseases without invasive painful therapies....

I am telling all that if yr voices are not talking and if you are not standing up for what the final bill should have.... I feel sorry for many!!!!

Make some Noise!! Let's get what should be put...public option as well as alternative health care coverage...

How about this since the congress didn't read the 1000 page stimulas bill before they signed it and I doubt many of them have read this 1000 page health care bill either. Wouldn't it be a wonderful statement and relief to many if the following position was taken.

Hypethetical: today we the U.S. government are announcing the 3 month breather period in regards to our proposed health care proposal. During this time we are requiring all congressman and senators to read in full this 1000 page document. In addition we are forming a panel of surgeons and general practce doctors from all around the counrty to convene and propose a plan for care for all americans as well. At the end of the 3 month grace period of study a final panel of doctors and surgeons appointed by their peers will meet with a panel from the congress in order to achieve a proposed health bill minor or major that would be at least a base for all americans and maintain a cost effective approach at a minimum for the uninsured at this time.................................... What a concept this would be wouldn't it.
