you know I had to go for my yearly last month which led to a second visit and 3 more to another doctor (which all three of those visits could have been done in less than one half hour visit by the way) so now I have had to miss work on 5 different days in the last few weeks on top of that all the co pays for the visits. Lets not mention the amount I pay for insurance to being with.

Thumbs down

yeah thats why emergency room visits just went up from $50.00
to $150.00 .....but they still took almost 2 hours to see their patient and administer pain relief while they screamed.

It may sound like bs, but that what the letter says. Maybe they are trying to make us sympathetic for 08 when they try and get us to pitch in...
