[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Oh, Jason... I'm sorry to hear that you're having such troubles... I can understand why you'd just be tired of it all now... I would be, too. As for the cost of prescriptions each year, so far this year I believe my insurance has paid about $4K for prescriptions, and I've paid another $400 in copays. Thankfully, I have VERY good insurance. Also, thankfully, almost all of the medications I use are available as a generic, and my doctors will allow me to USE the generics. That saves me and my insurance company a TON of money. For office visit copays, I've paid out about $500, and I've paid about $300 for hospital stay copays. I'm not even sure how much I've paid for my labwork and testing portions as not all of that is covered by my insurance. My insurance has paid more than I even want to know in office visit fees, seeing that I mostly only see specialists, I know my insurance paid almost $10K for my hospital stay when all was said and done. My various lab work and everything? It's in the thousands... easily. Moral of the story? I pay dearly for my insurance, but it's worth every penny because they pay dearly to insure me. I couldn't survive without it. Even with the coverage though, I can barely afford to be this sick... we're only halfway through the year, and I'm still waiting on some bills for my portion of some labwork. Gak. That's the stuff that kills me - labwork and testing. And none of this counts my vision and dental, which has also been high this year because my prescriptions have caused vision and dental problems. WTF. That SUCKS! But I can't complain... at least I have insurance, and I'm able to work - I'm light years ahead of where I was last year. I was on unpaid disability for 6 months last year because of these headaches. I'm STILL trying to catch up those bills.... and I'm still a lot luckier than many people. I know that, and I'm not complaining. It's all just part of being sick. The trick is just keeping the job and the insurance ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
