This is a re-post from Health Affairs published on their blog today 2/29/2012. I thought it might be helpful to my readers. I still have problems with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), because it still is a third party healthcare delivery system and not quality healthcare controlled by you and your doctor.
Until you take responsibility for your who healthcare and stop wanting someone else to pay for it, you will not have the control of your care or the cost. Their are option available but you will need to we willing to do the research and ask the right questions.
Here are a few ideas:
1) Go with a high deductible no frills plan to cover the major problems.
2) Pay cash of your regular Doctor visits, and other routine expenses.
3) Look at accident plans that pay per accident. Example NACD (National Association of Consumers Direct)
4) Add a program that gives you PPO discounts for your Doctor and other routine expenses, (lab, Rx, vision, Dental, etc.
