No I didn't need to look. I'm not deflecting either. Free mammograms kicked in last year. I was just commenting that this was not news, that the Affordable Health Care Act was creating provisions for all sorts of preventive services to be made available at no cost to the patient. I'm not really quite sure what you are getting at in your post to me.
mammograms is on that list. I thought to post this because there are many that do not realize this. This IS news to many out there.
That appears to be the insurance company is forced to provide all those services for free. The quest to bankrupt all the insurance companies is coming to fruition. Wait until they are forced to cover folks high risk folks. Free aspirin?
They really can't see what we are trying to tell them about the attempts to run the insurance companies out. They can't see that that is a back door route to socialized medicine. Maybe they will see that once they manage to re-elect the Head Dictator and he starts doing what he will surely do when he doesn't have to worry about another term.
What ? My son can't afford insurance and is on mine.
Same with most of his friends; they are on their parent's plan. Obamacare lets "kids" be dependents until they are 26.
Well, take him off. Make him buy his own insurance. He's insured isn't he? Someone, perhaps your employer, is paying a premium for him.
People get insurance for free? Which company? I want to sign up
Wait for a few more Presidential mandates to insurance companies and the withdrawal of the insurance people. Then it will all be free, at least to the 49.5% who get it without paying any income taxes. Open those eyes and look at what is coming.

The left has been conditioned by their handlers that government healthcare is the only answer no matter what. Many aren't smart enough to understand what is really going on. Free healthcare is a main plank in their liberal utiopian world. Sadly like everything else they don't understand that nothing is free. Somebody has to pay for it. How has our country become so stupid so fast??
All those younger healthier people? Now who are they and how many are they?? I remember the squeals about all these 40 million uninsured back in the day but many were children and most were already eligible for some state or fed program that they didn't sign up for and a big chunk were illegals. You think 700 bucks from a few million healthy people who didn't sign up for insurance before because they didin't want to will somehow make this pool able to cover everybody?? LOL.
I'll take insurance for $50 Alex.
Q-What swooner thinks paying $50 a month by healthy young folks who didn't pay anything before the healthcare bill was forced down the throats of US taxpayers will fix everything???
All of them think just as you say about what this will cost, in the end.
Well, take him off. Make him buy his own insurance. He's insured isn't he? Someone, perhaps your employer, is paying a premium for him.
I'm paying the premium under a family plan.
And why should I take him off ? He can't afford insurance with the money he makes.
My premium has gone up 20% for the past 2 years.
The first time it was specifically because of this change to dependents (early obamacare kick in). United Healthcare sent a letter to that effect..they had to expand the pool of money due to expanded coverage.
The second year I got no letter. But I can see now that the "no copay" services have to be paid.
These are the services we get in exchange for our premiums we pay that may otherwise never benefit us if we don't get sick or in an accident. It also PREVENTS problems that cost insurance companies much more. It wasn't Obama that discovered that btw. Preventative health care has been in vogue for quite some time...
