I just wanted to take a minute to say "hi" to anyone that might remember me. I joined here this past October just to view and speak with some old friends. As of about 2 weeks ago my insurance decided they didn't like me anymore! So, even though I am "new" here I am everything but! I posted under the same UN at DB with a pinky and the brain avatar. So, I just wanted to say "hi" to everyone and wish everyone nothing but the best!

Well, that makes 2 of us! The thing that gets me is 1)I received no kind of notification until the pharmacist told me. 2)my insurance premium went up $17/month this month???

That really sucks /default_sad.png  I am sorry to say but I think that is going to be the trend from now on unfortunately...

 
Well hello to you. Welcome back. New here myself, but learning the ropes mighty fast. Gotta be quick in today's fast paced IT world.

I'd say "take a seat" but by doing so you might fall behind.

Just post away. Try to hit 50 in one night. Those are the kinda posters I like the best.

In any event, cheers my friend.

 
@Puzzler. Lol. I think 100 I'm one night is much better. Maybe there should be a thread in the introduction section called "I don't care about DBG. I just want some drugs. Here are my 30 posts "

I agree that it is definitely becoming a trend. I wouldn't have such a issue with it had I been notified in some manner. How hard is it to send out a letter so someone has time to prepare. They could have used some of that monthly increase to send a form letter saying "you've got to such and such date, then nada" but I guess that would be expecting to much!

Try going from a typical HMO with $50 copay doc visit to $2500 deductible and no doctor copay of any kind and no free physical/ well-woman checkup - nuthin. It's BS. My cost used to be about $200/month pre tax and then $10-$20 prescription co-pay and $50 doc co-pay and free physical and well-woman check up each year to basically nothing AND a premium increase because I'm now over 40. 20% increase. I work for a small company and I guess I should be happy to have anything but Jesus Christ I need something catastrophic (hope not) before I get any benefit. I have to see my orthopedist 4x yearly for script and cortisone shot. Then 2x year to ob/gyn because we have cervical cancer in my family.

I'm very healthy minus the degenerative bone disease that requires the ortho. I'm not remotely overweight and am in really good shape and a non-smoker and non longer considered child bearing age. So now I pay $5500/ year before I get one dollar of medical benefit. I wouldn't mind the high deductible so much if my rates had gone down you know? At least I have an hsa though that is deducted pretax.

I think in the long run we have two options in this country and they are both extremes. From what I understand healthcare premiums would actually go down if everyone paid individually - no business could provide the benefit. It's the buying power of business that allows cheaper premiums for their employees. Small business and self employed are screwed. So that's one option. Fend for your self. The other is more or less Medicare for everyone but then obviously our taxes go up. Seems to me either way sucks for some and is good for others.

The big problem in my opinion is that Americans want services but don't want to pay for them. Everyone says they don't want the poor lady with cancer to die BUT they don't want to pay more to help her. We want the money to magically appear. I think the more honest conversation (which will never happen btw) is really "this is how much money we have $100 - this is what we want $1000. Do we really care if the woman with cancer dies? If yes pay more if no pay less." Problem is everyone including myself feels a moral obligation to say yes we care. I'm willing to pay more so this theoretical woman gets chemo. I don't think everyone else is willing and they should say so. In those folks defense ( my hubby is very Ron Paul supporting libertarian) at what time is enough enough and you worry about yourself. Idk the answer. I just know it sucks to pay a lot of money and only get 4 shots and a papsmear

  1. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 my boy from way back is a die hard NOLA fan we have some pretty solid back n forth trash talk thru the years haha
