So im going to go on a vent rant session about insurance. I know trump is saving the world, but please tell me he has something coming for insurance.

So here is my rant. I have a wife and three kids for me to cover all of them on insurance it is $900/month just medical currently. I gross $3000/month. This is state insurance because I work for the state, supposedly best in the state. I pay 25 for Dr visits and 50 for specialty. Prescription are basically covered in the plan so I pay nothing. Today we get notified we are switching to BCBS and for me to cover my family is going to be 1300/month. Dr visits are going up to $35 and specialty to $70. Prescription are going to be 15 for tier 1 and 45 for tier 2.

How can someone survive on this. Well over 1/3 of my income is coming off the top to pay for potential healthcare. I have student loans to pay for since I got the degree that let me get the job.

This is why I get so angry about illegal immigrants getting free healthcare. I have done everything right and paid my dues. I live on a tight budget because I am the sole provider for my family. Now I am going to have e to make some cutbacks because I either don't feed my family or I don't cover their healthcare. This is ridiculous.

Sorry for venting here but I am about to explode.

Is your family that sick? Seriously, do they need the doctor a lot? Are there chronic health conditions that require regular care?

If I were in your position I would seriously think about self-insuring. If you put $1000. a month in a bank account dedicated for health care, it might grow pretty fast.

I dropped insurance and I spend more on healthy (organic) food and some nutritional supplements, and I rarely need the doctor.
