My old plan was far from being a catastrophic plan.

Prescriptions were already a part of it. As were doctors visits.

We pay $3,000 and after that our insurance covers ALL of our medical costs.
I don't have any new "perks". The pregnancy coverage (that I don't need) is the only thing.

And I'm still waiting for it to cover birth control pills for my wife. The cost of those has now risen from around 30 to 40 bucks a month up to the latest $90 a month that she just got filled.

The costs of everything has jumped meteorically in the last couple of years like I've never seen before.

I guess because the medical companies and pharma are ready to get on the govt. bandwagon and the sky is the limit when the govt. pays for it (talking about the possibility of single pay). Just like those $1,000 toilet seats at the Pentagon. lol

So the actual costs of healthcare are taking off like never before.
