I was all for the public option. I don't understand why so many weren't.
My husband has us both on his company's insurance at a little over $500 a month. It is pretty much worthless to us because the deductible is $5,000 each. So far, praise the Lord, we haven't needed to use it. I do have to get eyedrops every month though at $100 a month, which isn't covered and have to go to the ophthalmologist every three months--again not covered, even though they do extensive testing. I would buy the eyedrops from Canada in a minute--they cost about $30, except they have to be refrigerated, and I wouldn't trust it.
Those of you who are blaming Obama for this mess seem to be misguided. The insurance companies have been ripping the country off for years now. And you want to talk about "death panels"? Just try to get your insurance company to pay for a heart bypass operation if you're over 75 or 80. They have had their own "death panels" for years. They are not going to pay for a procedure for someone they deem too old.
