Obamacare is the gift that keeps on giving. I go to the CVS to pick up our pills and they tell me that they do not take our insurance anymore. I have Oxford which is United Health Care which is one of the biggest companies. So how is it that they don't take it. They took it in Florida last month for crying out loud. They told me I had to go to Rite-Aid or Walgreens which are blocks away.
I understand that they are not paying the monies due or something. These insurance companies are going out of business left and right. I got dropped from my prior company because they do not do small business plans with a husband and wife group. So we had to get personal coverages which I found out that they are dropping this year so I have to find another company. Unless something changes.

We have UHC. Even though it's one of the big ones, it sucks. The money they sink into perkily informing me about things I already know drives me nuts. Their prescription coverage is especially bad, at least with the plan we have. I found I could save more money looking on the internet for the lowest price, which turned out to be at Walgreens using a coupon--which I have to, have to, have to print out and physically show them or it's $50 more--which means people who don't have computer access or don't know where to look pay more, with the coupon price being lower than UHC prescription service rate or the co-pay. Right now we're mostly paying for our own stuff with our pre-taxed money from the Health Savings Account. Almost like old times, where families paid for what they needed with what they earned or what they had on hand.
Just go to the ER and say "Yo tango no papers, por favor" - you should get everything for free.
Insurance companies are going out of business left and right because that's what Obamacare was intended to do. Remember, the "evil" insurance companies are what took the life of Stanley Dunham way before her time; they must be vilified and punished.
The truth is, insurance companies are going out of business not because they are greedy, but because they cannot run a business w/o losing money. There are too many people getting too many services w/o paying.
Hillary's plan is to go after the "greedy" pharma companies next. This will also succeed in today's climate because everybody thinks that big pharma makes too much money. The final result will be the departure of pharma companies from the US (following the chemical industry) and considerably less innovation.
