[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to call around and get my own health insurance when I went to college. So I did and chose an Aetna plan. Bfd.[/quote]

Who paid your $600 premium? Or did you get Obama Care? [/quote]

Back then my plan was $100/month for myself, and all that happened was I paid $10 copay for BC pills. I needed a finger cut looked at one morning but I sutured it up with a bandaid myself just fine.

This was 2007-2009, pre-ObamaCare and Pre- Make Your Parents pay for it until age 26. That would have made my BC pills free. [/quote]

And what did this plan actually cover if you had a catastrophic illness? I had insurance like that too, but still would have meant I was SOL if I had a major event. It was also easy to get because I was in my 20s and had no preexisting conditions. Someone who has Type 1 diabetes? They are just screwed? Someone who has a stroke related to BC (I've taken care of a few patients with BC related strokes when I was a stroke RN)? What would we do with them?[/quote]
