bury my head in the sand and ignore all thepolitics… too bad that won’t help anyone.
From what I do understand, the bill that passed still doesn’t really help me directly get health care. Correct me if I am wrong – We still can’t afford health care and We still make too much money for public aid/medicaid.
My kids are still covered by Fla Kid Care. Based on our income that costs 20$ a month for all three kids (20$ total, not each), we pay a co-pay for sick visits, but one well visit is included each yea. Generic meds are covered, but Publix and a few other places have a handful of free meds anyway. Maybe there is no co-pay for the primary but there is for specialists? I had a co-pay for D for his eye exam, so maybe. Malachai is enrolled in CMS (Childrens Medical Services) so all of his is covered 100%. We did not qualify for financial aid for him (based on his disability) but that was our income that determined that, not his diagnosis.
Big breath. Now that I vomited that mess up, why? When can I get 20$ a month health care based on my income? When can I go to the doctor because I feel like my lungs are going to explode or I fell and my knee was swollen for a month and still hurts mildly most days? Yep, not holding my breath on that one.
I am waiting to find out that this bill that passed is the one that will fine my husbands employer for not offering health care (not that we can afford it anyway!) and then he’ll go back to my husband being a contractor and it will cost us even more money.
I realize you can’t please all the people all the time, but when will it be our turn to not be in the neglected middle percent?
