Well 5 am my time-woke with a massave headache. I get these from time to time. I believe they are call occular migranes as it causes massave pressure behind my eyes. I used some eye drops took some pain med and ate some yogert. Its better but I can’t go back to sleep yet.
I did find out a bit about the new medical plan and it’s not good. The monthly cost is about the same but you have to spend $1500 out of pocket before thay pay for anything-including medicine. This doubles my medical cost on day 1 of the takeover. I have already met my deductable for this year -$500- and now will have to do it again. I have never heard of hitting a deductable before they paid for prescriptions. Even after that expense they only pay 75% of the cost on a doctor visit-until you hit a yearly maximum of $5000. This is a big part of the problem with medical care in the US. Back in the day I never went to the doctor because I couldn’t afford the dedcutables. I am sure I was diabetic years before I found out for lack of doctor care. I am not sure if they will even cover the insulin pump suplies. I just got 3 months suplies and will get 3 more months suplies before the change over but all these adjustments may have been for nothing. The insulin that I just got for 3 months will cost $175 co pay vs the $125 I just paid.
I don’t know how the goverment lets big business get away with giving the working staff such crappy benifits yet pays themselves millions while we take a hidden pay cuts in this way.
No wonder I have a headache!
