No co-pay again - Thank you Mr. President.
But, handing a new scrip, the nurse said that some of the insurance companies were charging $60 co-pay and that if mine did, they had it for $50. Not $50 co-pay. Total of $50.
They called the scrip in while we did other shopping. Not wanting to go all the back to the doctor's office if it was cheaper, I called ahead.
My co-pay for the drug - $12.
Thanks again, Mr. President.
I have a round-robin kind of conversation with friends and thought I'd share some of their recent comments about their own experiences:
Sounds like some posters here who would rather hate Obama than take care of their family.

I just got enrolled at the market place. It was really easy, and OMG, I got a great policy for $203 a month. It is better than my current health insurance plan, it has a lower deductible, $1750, co pays, and great prescription coverage. I am saving $577 a month. Can you even believe that? I was so pleased. It was to the point that I was going to have to cancel my health insurance, and that just wasn't safe considering my health issues. My medicine was costing $300 a month. I now have a copay of $15.00 for drugs after I reach a $250 deductible. I am so very happy, I am doing the happy dance.. Grin Grin
It feels like I can finally get ahead, and not be weighed down with almost $1100 a month for health care and medicine. I had tried to get different insurance for the last 2 years, been turned down by 4 different companies.
I know there are a lot of people out there that think Obama and his health care plan are terrible. But for me, and I'm sure thousands of other people out there it is a real lifesaver.
What is also great about it, is if I don't like the coverage, (there were 36 plans to compare, it was difficult to make a decision) I can reapply for a different plan next year!
Did I already say I am HAPPY!
My new policy which has GREAT prescription coverage is only $232 a month for both of us. I'm LOVIN' Obamacare.
I haven't looked into it as it does not affect me, but I have heard that it sucks. Glad to hear it's working well for some people at least Smiley
It's working well for most people.
My idiot son (the eldest) is the sole support of himself, his wife, and four children. His eldest posted in Facebook that he (the grandson) was going to have his wisdom teeth removed. The next day he posted that he didn't have the $900 dollars the dentist wanted, so he only had the infected tooth removed. But then he also explained that, not having the $300 for anesthesia, he simply gripped the arms of the chair when the dentist pulled his tooth and took some aspirin when he got home.
I called my idiot son and suggested he enroll through his state exchange. Pointed out that at his income level, with all of those dependents that he probably would end up paying nothing for medical, dental, and vision. He told me that he "hates Obama, and will never enroll in Obamacare." I suggested that his political prejudices over weighing his parental responsibilities is not a sign of good parenting.
This is way we don't speak often, I guess. He doesn't particularly appreciate me making "judgments" about his life.
These, J*****, are the people who insist the Affordable Care Act is bad for America. And they don't need to actually look into how it might affect them. They've simply refused to look at any factual information about it.
Wow BG, I'm sorry to hear that! He needs to get his head out of his butt and look around. It doesn't matter who he does or doesn't support or like, his family should come first. Period. Especially for something like that!! It's one thing if he had OK coverage elsewhere, even if it wasn't quite as good or perhaps was more costly. But when your son has to get a tooth removed without anesthesia, and can't get other teeth removed that need to be, then you have to look for other options whether you like where they are coming from or not. For the sake of himself and his family I hope he smartens up and I hope more people tell him the good side of it so he finally gets it. Being in Canada I love our healthcare and can't say much about aca as I haven't looked into it because it doesn't affect me, but in his position I definitely would.
LOL, B****, you hit it exactly right. I have relatives and friends like that also. I won't even tell you the discussion I had about it at Christmas with my nephew, the one that has borrowed thousands of dollars from my Mother, his Grandmother. Let's suffice it to say that he doesn't pay his medical bills, or his other bills for that matter, but when they along with all his credit cards add up to enough he plans on going bankrupt, which will be soon.. It makes no sense to me either, and in this case makes me sick to my stomach. Mom will not be giving him another dime, she is also done with him and his financial views.
Don't you just love Christmas with extended family.....lol
Don't you think however that alot of Insurance companies will tank and go under? I mean how can the government undercut already set rates?
Don't get me wrong, pft, I could give 2 shits if they do go out, their insurance companies...they overcharge to begin with; but how are they going to float? All the new members that sign up thru this Obamacare plan?
Between the insurance companies and pharmaseutical companies...they own this country. That's where changes need to be made.
Sounds like some posters here who would rather hate Obama than take care of their family.
