No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
lets see, my "free" for life health care insurance from the military
cost me about 300 a year for the deductible, not bad for "free"
that comes after a 20% deductible is recouped.. again not bad for free ..
then after we reach a $3000 Catastrophic cap after $300 deductible and and 20% cost share is met, then it covers everything for free.. after it determines it's cost for the procedure and then pays that portion of the doctor bill.. leaving the non-covered part for you to pay.
not to mention if I retire I still have to pay about $100 a month for medicare and then still meet the deductible and cost share.. and cap,..
so effectively my free for life health insurance could cost me about $6000 out of pocket a year,...
is that a bit exorbitant for my "free" medical for life?
yep I want the government in charge of making sure costs aren't exorbitant
BTW I'm not complaining.. it is good coverage.. just not as free as many think..
oops forgot about prescriptions,. they're extra.
