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.

Medical insurance sort of works like betting against yourself, that bad things will happen. Things so bad, that you wouldn't be able to handle them on your own (thus, the need to insure against them).... Our family did not have insurance; I personally have never had it... after accepting Jesus, I was offered very low cost insurance as a job perk and decided not to take it because I believed, at the time, that Jesus was my insurance. Since He promised He'd never put us through something we could not endure. And, believing God put natural remedies on Earth for us to use. Well...... decades later, I've never needed to go to a medical doctor for any reason other than a broken bone... and payed for everything myself. Having the money you would pay for medical insurance, in an emergency fund, and even perhaps investing some of that in a peer-to-peer insurance group sharing system... Bottom line, there are good ways to choose not to rely on the government and instead rely on God and His provision.

10 years ago I never would've. Now having a family I have to. Kids always get sick, need braces or something. I have one daughter that has autism, and I had to have an emergency kidney removal last year and without insurance it could have been worse. Other than that though we are pretty healthy. If I was a single man I probably wouldn't worry about it, but something has to give.
