How much will it cost to pay for my own medical bills?
El Charro asked:
I’m currently on my parent’s insurance, but my parents said they will stop paying for my insurance starting January so I will need to pay for my own medical stuff. How much does it cost to get an eye examination at the eye doctor to get contacts/glasses. and how much does it cost to get one year supply of contacts. how much would it cost me if I have ZERO insurance or welfare?

Call or visit the doctors office.
The contacts can be gotten from a bunch of different places, so do not take the doctors cost as gospel. Bruce

Just call your eye doctor and ask. As a point of reference, my eye doctor charges about $100 for a regular eye exam.
One year supply of contacts depends on what brand and style you wear. Go to 1-800-Contacts and look up your exact type and they’ll tell you what they charge. rtfm

I’m wondering if you’d rather be able to have a tax deductible health reimbursement account that rolls over any unused dollars for the next year. And how about if you could buy a policy from any state in the country which would provide competition and rid the system from corrupt monopoly-held insurance companies. This plan would also let the loser pay for ridiculous law suits!
This could be the new health plan if the Republicans would start being more clear as to how real reform could help “We the People” and not have any more cost to the government. bwlobo
