My last job had a $275 deductable I had to pay BEFORE they covered anything and they didn't cover my yearly exam. So I am like great, my knee hurts, which is making my foot hurt and there ain't I can do about it |

its like a deductible AFTER u get money taken out of ur paycheck right?! that fukin SUX...thats like my first job, i had to pay $300 before anything...its like ur probably better OFF going with an independent health plan than the one from ur company, esp. IF u are working for a small company. right now i work for a small company and i have a feeling that i may be paying a LOT for insurance even if i do it through them...bigger companies have better plans with better coverage
all these people that still are covered under your parents' health plans, take ADVANTAGE and go get checked out/get necessary surgery whatever. u just DON't APPRECIATE how accessible it is until its gone... |

| Lyss, make sure you eat protein and sugar before you make a trip home. Your blood sugar was probably low. I have a problem with fainting (very inopportunte) and I was told that even one fainting spell is a sign of low blood sugar... happened to my mom once too, and she ate 2 chocolate bars and was fine. The key is also to eat enough protein, that helps too. Hope you feel better! |

| that completely sucks! any company that makes you go 6 months without insurance is a hole...what would happen if you had young children? Complain about the illness at work and try to get workers comp. |

| sorry to hear that lyss i hope you feel better, you should look into some medical financial insurance until your benefit's kick in..i know what it feels like to not have insurance, mine just recently kicked in after 90 days of employment. What really sucks? My dental, kicks in after a YEAR =-( .....but feel better! |
