Nearly 9 in 10 US adults now have health insurance

I don't know. We have had insurance all along and each year the insurance has gotten more and more costly. Now it's exorbitant and we've had to switch to a very limited insurance. Almost all of our doctors are on it except my gynecologist and my daughter's surgeon. My gyn is no big deal - I see him once a year and this year I just paid the $125 office visit for my annual check-up but it makes me nervous to not have my daughter's surgeon on the plan. We paid out of pocket for her to see him as well and fortunately all is good.

I've also noticed something new. We have a co-pay for our insurance of $15 for our GP and $35 for specialists. I'm also now getting additional bills for additional co-pays for all lab work including even influenza and strep tests which were always included in the doctor's visit. But it seems now those bills are counted separately according to the health insurance so going to the doctor with strep now costs $15 for the visit, $35 for the strep test and then another however much the antibiotics cost. I'm definitely not happy with this.

And if you don't pay up, they'll report you to the credit bureaus. Didn't used to, but most do now.

Mine hasn't changed. $10 co-pay and everything else( Lab work for blood, etc, )is still included.

Yeah, we noticed this towards the last 5 months or so with our old insurance and it's the same with the new one. I'm SO not used to this!

So, based on the thread title, we're down to only 32 million people without insurance?

0bama promised a $2500 decrease in insurance costs per family: the cost of my NEW plan was actually about $1400 less.
But the company needed to change plans to make it affordable.
The kicker is that there is no co-pay for any medical visits or testing...
Instead employees pay the first $3000 for individual coverage or $6000 for family coverage.

My medical bills are rather high due to various maladies.
I started an HSA (health savings account) where I pay $200 every 2 weeks (tax free) over the cost of my insurance to cover these expenses.
So over all I'm paying about $20k a year to cover myself, my wife, and my daughter.

This is not affordable healthcare.

Makes Obamacare a real success story, huh?

The premise of the op for this thread is a complete joke.
