Sicko for Sure

I know that a lot of massage therapists, myself included have had our share of challenges (and some pleasant surprises) in dealing with our client’s health insurance companies.

I have also been dealing with my own personal insurance nightmare the past few months.

Like many of you my husband Francis and I are self-employed therapists and have private health insurance which we pay for dearly ($914 a month for the two of us for a policy with a $2500 deductible). In over 10 years we have never needed to use our major medical (thank goodness!) until Francis had an accident and needed surgery last December.

Despite having a policy that is supposed to pay 100% after the deductible has been met we are now stuck with about $20,000 in medical bills (which is growing each month because of interest fees). Now that is Sicko!

So I am particularly interested in Michael Moore’s new movie dealing with the subject.

As I am currently traveling across the country from Bellingham, Washington to Annapolis, Maryland I have not had a chance to see it yet.

Have you?
