 Although mom had ins. through GM they dropped all surviveing spouses as of 1/1/09 and it was mind boggeling trying to find her a new plan, thank goodness she already had the medicare A & B. Her new ins cost her about 3 times as much and dosent cover as well as her old ins did and she dosent even have dental & eye ins. Had to get enough meds from CVS to cover her till they come from Medco which will be better once they start coming in cause it will be a 3 month supply through the mail, but cost extra to get the ones at CVS. Its just crazy dealing with ins.

Yes, it is indeed CRAZY
 Health insurance makes me very very nervous. I think, just like GM dropping surviving spouses, that more companies are going to drop health insurance for retirees and even employees. Anyone with lots of health problems, would be bankrupt in a very short period of time without health insurance - even with Medicare, having to pay 20% doesn't seem like a lot, but with multiple hospitalizations or lots of medications, would take tons of money. For me, this is as scary and the economic crisis.
