Well our new health insurance costs have been unveiled under the Trump/Republican BBB. [View all]
Wifey and I are on Social Security with an advantage plan from Florida Blue, ( Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida). My wife has COPD and needs to use Trelegy. It is the only inhaler that works. She has used others over the years but now only Trelegy
will work. Last year with Florida Blue Advantage our deductible was around $500/yr for he Trelegy. Now it is over $2100/year. My meds are tier 1 and were $0 last year, now I have one that is $120/yr. This Rx stuff is bad enough but all of our deductibles for hospital stays, specialist visits and coverage for all other incidentals have gone through the roof. We are going to have to find a way to eat the cost. I am 72 and I do work part time. We need to rise up and put the billionaires heads on pikes lining our highways.
The for profit healthcare system is designed to encourage people not to use their coverage for fear of going bankrupt. Remember, the first rule of operating a business is making a profit. That is the prime directive. It is not your health they are concerned about. It is the health of their profits and their company.
I am so proud of the citizens of Minneapolis and all the others that have risen up against this dictatorship and his cronies. They have shown us all how to deal with tyrants. There are more of us than them, they can't kill us all. I hope the next No Kings Day next month has an even greater turnout than the previous ones. I will be there.
