During the time I've been furloughed I had Connecticut "Husky" adult medicare which literally paid for
every cent of every doctor's visit and
every non-OTC medication with zero cost to me. (the way it
should be for everyone in the so-called "richest" country on earth)
Damn good thing too because with the dog-$hit high-deductible Obama-care Bronze plan I had previously I really couldn't afford to go to the doctor for routine care. (turns out I had a couple pretty serious/potentially life threatening untreated health-issues which I'm now managing effectively)
At this point I'm expecting to be back to work shortly and will have to sign back up for an exchange-plan... from what I'm seeing my costs will be about the same for a "Silver" plan as they were previously for "Bronze" and I can get essentially the same plan I had (with $5k+ deductible) for no out of pocket premiums.
What a deal!
*(Nonsense like this is why I really no longer give two craps about "owing" the the greedy scumbags responsible for the current system money. Those rat-bastards FULLY deserve any and all screwing they get and more!)
