Sticker Shock


My medical insurance company just raised my monthly premium to $640.00. For myself only, and still having to pay $35.00 every time I see a doctor or get a non-generic prescription filled. I simply can't afford it; more specifically, I can't afford to pay both the new premium and my rent in the same month. I will probably be much more articulate (and outraged) about the subject later, but for now, not without irony, I am pretty sick. All I can say at the moment is that I am hugely relieved that the patent for Cipro has finally expired and I was able to get the generic for six bucks at Target tonight. Now if only I could afford to stay home from work and recuperate...
