Is that like a private health insurance company? Can you switch to another? Here in Australia we can move funds without re-doing waiting periods etc if another fund offers better benefits ....

Good luck - its so annoying when this sort of thing happens isnt it!

AAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH. What a rotten deal. I have tried to make sense of the new Medicare program and it's impossible. Luckily my insurance sent a notice saying I don't have to sign up for any of it cuz Cigna's plan is better...for now at least.

I hope you can get your meds covered for your RA Molly and not have to carry the burden yourself. They just don't seem to care that people with chronic, disabling conditions desperately need these meds. Where the heck is the money supposed to come from? I just heard from a friend of mine who had breast cancer surgery and the meds she needs to take daily for the NEXT 5 YEARS will cost her $200/month...and that's AFTER the insurance pays it's share. This is criminal.

Has Kaiser gone crazy?

Molly you need to immigrate.....I think there are a few countries that suppport health care and looking after its citizens better. However Australia might be a bad place to come, as our government is intent on following the US policies......>> Lets hope they dont do too much damage becuase sure as chips they wont be voted in next time. Not by me anyway and I know my vote counts. Lell

Oh Molly, I can't believe Kaiser's doing this. It's so unfair! Is there any way you can go to another insurance carrier? I switched over to Aetna several months ago and so far it's been really good. They cover 100% of my Enbrel, whereas I was paying almost $400 a month out-of-pocket with Blue Cross. I recieved my big, fat, confusing Medicare packet from the Dept. of Health and Human Services about a month ago and it's still sitting on my desk. I think I'll leave well enough alone for now. Having RA sucks enough without having to deal with insurance companies ripping us off.

Amanda, my Kaiser insurance is under a federal (US government) program called Medicare.

Lell, I certainly hope that Australia doesn't follow the U.S. lead for healthcare.
