If I were without insurance
this little illness would have set me back for at least 6 months. Today was trip #3 to the doc, for me a
$15 co-pay per visit. The cost for someone without insurance; at least
$80 a visit.
My chest xray and possibly a second one next week, (please no) cost me nothing. I have no idea what someone without insurance would have paid. I'll guess
$150.
First group of drugs, steroid, inhaler, antibiotic,
$18 co-pay for me, for someone without insurance
$85.
So here I am, I'm still not well. Now we go to antibiotic #2, a 14 day course. Because it was a generic, my co-pay was
$7. Even though it was a generic, someone without insurance would have had to pay
$180 for 28 measly pills!
I wouldn't have had it
to pay. What then?
45 million people without insurance in the US.
