If you want to read something that will really boil your oil, go to www.moveon.org and read today's front webpage article about Dawn Smith, who has a treatable brain tumor.
CIGNA reportedly denied tests and treatment for two years, during which it doubled her premiums,. She pays $753/month in premiums. Seven hundred fifty-three dollars every month! Move-on members rattled their swords at CIGNA, which recently approved the test she needs. Two years is a long time to wait for a needed medical test, when you have a brain tumor!
And the pharmacy plan she is on just raised her co-pay from $10 to $1,115 for her medication! I can't even calculate the percentage increase, but she referred to it as a 10,000% increase.
Too bad she's not a member of Congress. I'll bet that healthcare plan would just pay for everything, with no deductible.
If you were faced with catastrophic medical bills, what would you do?
You never know who is interested…
