I'm thinking of cancelling the medical insurance...

March 6th, 2006 at 03:45 am

honest, the coverage is so bad, that I really don't have the money to use the insurance...I'm better off going to the community clinic...for serious things there's the Bloom Children's Hospital...that's where you end up anyway if things are REALLY serious (they have great doctor and the best machines, so if things are really bad, even private doctors and hospitals send you there, so...)
It's not that I pay much (about $25/month), but, given the use that I'm giving it, I don't think it's worth it (last time Ale was sick I took her to the community clinic because I just don't have the money for the copay anyway!)
I'll fill out the proper documentation tomorrow... ((sigh))

    It's not like we'd be without coverage...it's just that I'd have to take her -or myself- to the Social Security Institute or to a charity hospital...a private hospital, even the cheapest one, is out of the question....3 days at a private hospital for something as "normal" as a stomach flu will cost about $6,000...the insurance covers about 80% and i have to pay the rest (either in cash or cc), and I just don't have that kind of money, so, if I cannot use if for the small stuff and I cannot use it for the big things, either, I'm better off without it!...
    what I want to do, in the long run, is get Salud Total, which is a much better insurance for my money (for $48/month, I get FULL coverage....I just go the the Diagnostics Hospital -private and one of the best here- and, if I or Ale get hospitalized, I just sign!...if it's not serious enough and you are just treated in emergencies, you pay $14....no matter what it is that you had!)
