Uninsured

Figures

Slowly, but surely, I'm realizing I'm a real adult. Due to the unneeded expense, I was dropped from my parent's health insurance policy in January. Hadn't been to the doctor or had serious problems for a while before that.


February

6 hours of vomiting occurs, panic attack and spiked a fever = Emergency room.
$2400



March

(Warning Too Much Information) Urinary tract infection. Great.
Doctors visit today: Including a bill for previous treatments, the visit came out to $200


3 Months into 2011, medical bills adding up to $2600, money I don't have. Not to mention, I have two prescriptions I take monthly: anti depressants etc.

What's Next!?
End of this month I will qualify for health insurance with my job. Unfortunately there's a possibility it will take me 3 more months to enroll. Not to conform to the recent cliche, but "FML"
