[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4137315, member: 45773"] Man... I've always tried to look at having a life-altering injury from military service as a blessing in disguise. After seeing what people pay for health insurance these days, I definitely know it is. The care I get thru the VA is as good, or better, than what I've received from civilian doctors. And there's no premiums and no deductibles. I can choose community care or go to a VA hospital. After dealing with civilian doctors and hospitals, usually at least as far away as the OKC VA, I've decided it's easier and better to just make an occasional trip to the OKC VA hospital for whatever I need. Routine stuff gets handled in the Ada VA clinic. My wife has a small federal retirement. It's only about $350 month...but it allows her to continue the same health coverage she had while working at the same cost. It's like $187 month and it's pretty decent coverage. She also has Medicare Part B (I think...it's for hospitalization only) but there's no premium for that. The premiums for her other coverage are creeping up so we're gonna check on regular Medicare coverage to see if it makes sense to switch. We couldn't afford health insurance if we had to pay what some of you guys are paying. [/QUOTE]
