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?
