PART THREE Health Insurance Increases

Nancy Duci Denofio listens to Sharon Cousins

My daughter-in-law, who is very ill, had to drop some of her meds this year when their crappy insurance through my son's job (for which they pay a fortune considering his income) went from a co-pay on meds to a percentage. Sucks doesn't begin to cover the state of health care in this country, not that the quality is very good for those who can afford it, since all the docs seem to care about is making money for the drug companies.

Nancy Duci Denofio - You hit on a topic of quality of care which is a concern of many I speak with. Although they pay these extravagant costs to be covered, even if covered through work, or small businesses - the doctors are (unfortunately) being pulled by the... insurance agencies, told not to get out so many tests, not to investigate when this is their job, they went to school to be a doctor with patience and patient. The care is getting less and less, and who else but those directing the answers behind a desk without a degree is determining if you are sick or not. I hope for the best for your daughter in law, and hope she finds a way to get the medication she needs. Check online for groups who are working with different organizations, to help those in need. If I hear of anything I will let you know. Sincerely, Nancy
