In reply to the discussion: Did you notice you didn't have to pay a copay for your annual exams the last 2 years? [View all]kestrel91316
(51,666 posts)16. $400/mo for a family of 4 is FABULOUSLY cheap insurance.
I'd have to pay $400+ a month just for myself here, but I can't afford it. Plus those stupid deductibles and copays if you actually make the mistake of getting sick or hurt.

It is now the law of the land that PREVENTIVE well exams do not have copay amounts.

A specialist is not a well exam. A well exam is where you go to the dr once a year...
