My family, like lots of other families in the U.S., has health insurance offered through an employer, but never meet the deductible and end up paying full price at the doctor. It's because the plan with the highest deductible takes less money out of your earnings each month, allowing us to pay our other bills and buy groceries (barely). The plan with the lower deductibles will save more money at the doctor but takes the most money out of your paycheck and in many cases cuts into our grocery bills and/or utilities for basic living. So do families like us have the insurance to begin with? In case something major happens, and a hospital stay is needed. I feel we are being robbed by paying the insurance monthly, and full price at the doctor. I had to see a doctor last week & I felt really bad after I went because now my son has strep throat. If I would have saved that money I would have had it to use for him. I know there are many out there in our situation. Thanks for reading this.
