    Default Thank Goodness I have Insurance

    I have ITP. My body kills my blood platelets. My platelets are now 27,000 when a normal count is 150,000 to 450,000. The doctor is giving me gamma gobulin (spelling?) again. The cost of the medicine alone is $13,000 not to mention the cost of the doctor. It is an IV drip and must be administered in the doctors office. Two days 9 am - 5 pm.

    The last time I got the drip was 6/7/07. That is only 7 months ago. So if I didn't have insurance, I would now be in debt for about $30,000. Instead, I only have a $65.00 deductible so my out of pocket is $130.00 but husbands union reimburses all deductible so I am out 0.

    This is something that I will have the rest of my life. THANK GOODNESS FOR MY INSURANCE.

    I was in a similar position with ovarian cancer a year and a half ago. I know that feeling of thank God for insurance.

    We are the lucky ones. The insurance situation in this country is dire, and a disgrace. Everyone should be able to say the same thing.
