I'm happy to pay our additional tax on everything so I can have "free" health care. I can't even imagine what it's like to pay for a doctor visit, hospital stay or to try managing a chronic illness. :(

Sorry about the "bill" reference. I'm sure that yours isn't outrageous!

Oh, I’ve heard stories…… I went to the doctor today and my insurance was charged $15 for a finger prick, something I do 4 or 5 times daily on my own. I offered to do it for them but they turned me down. Hungry I guess……….

That is truly outrageous. Insurance is a real moneymaking operation. I haven't been to the doctor's office for anything this year; just had a 6 month checkup and will be paying for the whole thing, as it is all applied to my "deductible". Sadly, the day is coming when I'll be costing Anthem a fortune, I'm sure.

I've been in self-destruct mode for nearly two years. My heart is in the right place, but thinking doesn't make it so. Thank you for your kind words! It's up to me...
