Insurance at my last company was so low, I’m not certain what it cost. $50mo. I think? When I started it was $35.
Let’s do math. $20 every 3-months for a copay to get the doctor to re-up my prescription, $10 for the pills, $30 total. Add in whatever my employer paid for my part over 3-months, add in the doctor’s cash-price difference. You get the idea.
And I probably could have found a way to cut the prescription price in half, or less. Ideas? That company Mark Cuban started? (Looks like it’s $8.23/90-days there, haven’t dug in on total price.)
Just learned about direct primary care, may jump on that if my new job doesn’t cover insurance, or it isn’t worth it. Thoughts on that?
Obviously I’m an American. You don’t know how sad that made me to type. It’s humiliating.
Dad had a clot in his neck causing vascular dementia. Stent, 4 days obs, battery of tests before and after.
Expenses: parking and machine-snacks. #canada
Fucking Robbins (brand) parking fascists. They control all the hospital parking lots.
Anyway, that was it. We don’t even pay a monthly premium/membership anymore. It’s all out of taxes, and my bro who has to pay in both countries finds his US taxes are still higher despite the healthcare added into his Canuck taxes.
Dad’s mostly good. He could see 90.
