No kidding...
V&I are retired bums and buy private health insurance: in our case,
BlueCross-BlueShield of NC was the best deal we could find at a
reasonable cost. The bad news is that it is really a Major Med Policy
with a $5,000 deductible and a $2.5 mill lifetime cap per person.
Our monthly prem was $245/month 6 yrs ago ... it's $700 a month
now, and goes up about every three months. For those of you
without a calculator that's ~$8,500 a year, off the top, for
"health ins". That does not cover us for doctors' visits, Gee I don't
feel good visits, Oh I nearly cut my finger off visits, etc.
It's a fookin nightmare in this country and is not gonna be/get fixed
by anyone or any group. A complete fookin fiasco, imo.
