MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SELF EMPLOYED AND PAY $620.00 PER MONTH FOR HEALTHINSURANCE. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2008 WE HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET MORE THAN $2500.00 FOR SUCH BASICS AS CHECK UPS, LAB WORK AND OUR CHILDREN'S PEDIATRICIAN VISITS WHEN SICK. THE INSURANCE COMPANY ONLY PAYS 20% ON PRESCRIPTIONS THAT ARE NOT GENETIC; MY HUSBAND'S LIPITOR IS ORDERED FROM CANADA AND OUR SON'S ALLERGY MEDICATION COST OUT 150.00+ PER MONTH.
AND THIS IS THE MOST ADVANCED NATION IN THE WORLD, COMPARED TO WHAT?
