Yeah. I want to stay healthy. I want to get the right meds for me. But I honestly can't afford to.
Finally got my bill for going to the doctor in May. $550. $550! In addition to what I had to pay the lab for the work they did. And this is for a pap, which a woman should get every year. Oh, yeah, I can afford that enough to go every year...
The insurance my dad has on me is good insurance, supposedly, but because the rate is so ridiculously high, he has a really high deductible, which means unless I got in a car crash or deathly ill, they won't pay for anything. And I can't afford $550 to go to the doctor, let alone go again for a "follow-up" that'll tack another $100-$200 on there. I need to talk to Jesse and see how much the deductible on his insurance is, and how much it would cost to add me to his. Because, honestly, I don't we can make the payment for my Blue Cross Blue Shield, and now that I'm married, my dad can't keep paying it.
Ugh. I hate healthcare in this country. I can't afford it. :(
Now I'm going to have to go beg my parents for money to help pay for going to the doctor. This sucks.

Anyway, my insurance covers all preventative procedures such as these. Its in the insurance companies best interest to have a healthy patient, because that way they avoid paying those big bills more often.
