Do You Use Your Medical Insurance?

Tweet

Now that it is manditory to have Medical insurance, or get fined, I wonder how many people actually use it. It is crazy how expensive it is to have especially for Retired or disabled on Medicare unless you fall in a lower category financially. But what amazes me, and even those who have Medical issues that need a Drs care, how many never go to their Doctor. I know I miss the days when it was easier to see someone, but with my being Diabetic, etc. I make sure and get in to see someone as often as I can. It makes no sense, unless you are Healthy to have to pay over $300 a month out of your pocket for Medical to never go and see a Dr unless you have a Fall or get really sick or need surgery. What ever happened to preventive medicine or if you are Diabetic, etc keeping checked on to make sure that everything is still good. I've been without Medications due to lack of insurance and had Extremely high Blood sugars, but hear of those with decent insurance having the same issues all because they don't want to do anything about it. My thoughts if you have insurance, don't be afraid to get to a Doctor and use it. It will be much cheaper then than if something major happens and you end up in the hospital etc, and have some high bills to deal with then. ~~TINA~~
