paying $400 for health care out of pocket was already a lot. Paying 2800/month for healthcare is absurd. You may as well just foot the entire hospital bill yourself.
and I thought this would be in a high CoL area. But the woman quoted lives in West Virginia. How is she paying 2-3x her rent for healthcare? For eyedrops of all things too.
Honestly the story gets sadder the farther I read:
>Like an asthma medication [that] can run $700 a month. There's an eye drop medication that can be $800 a month... "Luckily I can do that, but that's money I won't be able to save for investing in my 401(k) for retirement,"
