Thank you for your post ilovetv.

I totally get some of that!!! I believe that "some" of the doctors are scamming the system when they know you have insurance. My concern is for the older people who are ill and may run out of vouchers. At this point in my life, I am very healthy and plan to stay that way... However, my husband has a genetic heart condition. That type of condition would most possibly go over the vouchers.

That being said... I don't have the answers to the scams in the system. I took an insurance this year that I pay half the money into my deductible and the insurance pays half. The deductible is $3000... I pay a total of $3000 for premium and the savings program I pay into. (not writing this right) Anyway... it's meant to make people consider the cost of health care... Now... I will look for the less expensive blood work, etc. I wonder if that may be a better plan.

Just thinking.
