Default Gotta love Obama Care

It's great that some people are getting free or cheap medical insurance now. I'm just not real thrilled that I'm paying for it. We've had medical insurance through Michigan Public Schools Retirement system for years and it's been great.

Pre Obama care, I fractured my pelvis. Two weeks in the hospital and a month of therapy. Also had a month of therapy for a messed up rotator cuff. Cost us a $250 deductible. Lynda had a total knee replacement. Couple days in the hospital and 2 months of therapy, cost us a $250 deductible.

Lynda's going in for surgery tomorrow. She's getting a hiatal hernia repaired. In addition to the deductible there is a 10% co-insurance, $1200. That's just for the surgery, may be more for all the extras, anesthetist, etc. that are billed separately. If you need therapy for some reason, $75 a visit. Three days a week for a month = $900.

I'm glad some people are making out on this deal. Just wish it was me or at least not coming out on the short end.
