| 14. My heart attack cost less than $100 out of pocket |
|
My annual premium is up to $24,000 a year.
Twenty Four Thousand Dollars A Year ... for two people.
I am self-employed and therefor buy at street prices. Now that I have had a heart attack, i dare not change until I can qualify for Medicare.
I am, essentially, fucked.
I am INCREDIBLY thankful I can afford to pay for this.

My coverage is fine, but over $360/mo. just for me (in a group plan) sucks. |
