commercial/insurance/drug costs

[Guest guest]

I figured out that it normally costs my first 7-8 paychecks every year

to keep me alive. That is the amount of my health care insurance

premiums, doc visits and drug copays, and deductibles. (I get paid 24

times per year, thank goodness.) I get my Xolair delivered to my

office b/c it has to be signed for. The other day I was driving it

home thinking, " well, I've got $3,000+ worth of medication in my car

and it's really only costing me $550, so that's a good thing. " $500

for the monthly health insurance premium and $50 for my monthly copay

for Xolair. Since I can't get the Xolair without the insurance AND

since my asthma is the primary reason I need insurance, I lump the two

together.
