[QUOTE="snackdad, post: 775284, member: 30266"] It's funny, we used to have a copay of 40.00 to see a specialist and a 25.00 copay (Cigna) to see a general practitioner for anything. That is with insurance. Without insurance you pay 75.00 for the GP visit and 80.00 for the specialist. Do the math and average it out over a year. When my employment ended at FedEx COBRA wanted 850.00 per month to continue current coverage per month for two people. That is 10,000.00 a year! I could buy a liver and a kidney for that price. Not really, but it makes you wonder of the cost effectiveness of some of these insurance plans. The fear factor of that "catastrophic illness" should be avoided and your overall health should be an indicator as to what your needs are. Doing without and paying as you go may be a smart alternative. Put the extra money saved in the rainy day account. [/QUOTE]
