It took me a while to find a gynecologist that I liked and trusted, but now that I’m not under my parent’s plan anymore, she isn’t covered. I don’t want to have to find someone again and build a relationship with them when I was perfectly happy with the doctor I had.

expensive emergency tests

Submitted by SaraC on Mon, 07/02/2007 - 20:09. choice    cost
I was admitted into the emergency room unconscious and given several VERY expensive tests. Luckily my insurance paid for them, but when the insurance statement sent me a statement of the services they had paid for it scared me. I didn’t know what some of them were or what they were for and I didn’t know who to ask- or what I would have done if they hadn’t paid..

Read more »The time has come for we as Americans to realize that our health care system is failing us. In the 1940's we made the fateful decision to have business pay for health care through insurance companies. That decision has led to a business model of money-driven medicine, that looks to the bottom line for success, rather than to the health of American citizens. As a for-profit business, health care costs have risen to a level where even businesses can no longer pay for them.
