Thunk Thursday

Healthcare Costs:
I didn't realize mail order prescriptions offered me free shipping.  How generous of them.

And yes, I did actually have to pay $1,075.97 for this drug.

My daughter, who just turned 26, will lose her health insurance at the end of the month.  She works two part time jobs but cannot afford Cobra's cost of  over $500/month.  We have yet to find an alternative for her.  She doesn't qualify for any government assistance, but if she became pregnant she would. To get healthcare from work would require her to work longer hours. Healthwise, she can't be on her feet for that long.  Plus, she'd lose her second job which pays more, but isn't full time.

In addition to having to pay 100% out of pocket for healthcare, she will now have to pay a penalty fee, thank-you-Mr.-Obama, because she can't afford insurance.What a novel tax idea that was.

Truthfully,

Joanne
