I can't understand why United States medical system is so messed up. After I got married and tried to get coverage for me, I was amazed how difficult it was. I have a severe asthma, of course I was denied. We set up our own business and finally I got it but the insurance I got was so expensive and covers very little. I was allowed to visit doctor just 3 times a year, and each visit cost me co-pay, $30.- plus they billed me about $150.00 extra later. In year 2000. For premium, we paid $200.- per month, which was very big money for us, I wonder what do they really used our money for. I know. the money goes all to their salary.
I went to asthma doctor, he didn't give me prescription right away, he wanted me to come back in one month to do the breathing test, which I know their intention, my asthma was so bad, they wanted to give me good care. I explained to them I only have 2 more visit for this year, but I think my English was so poor, they didn't understand me. I ended up going there 2 more time just to get the prescription I really needed. That experience made me so paranoid about health care system in this country, I was fear to go to the doctor even for pap smear every woman in late 20's are all supposed to do.
