Lost my health insurance (after 25 years) when I retired and became self-employed. (great company huh?) Same health ins Co, Cigna, turned me down when self employed; overweight & high blood pressure.
(pay more taxes now, make more money..but no health care for 'ol peanut...I'm a bad risk...not a good business deal for them...but can still help pay Uncle for others who are not working etc etc blah blah..).
But the point is I gotta go to Doc's regularly for blood p meds...so for the past 8 years at physical time he asks, "you should have the periscopeinass exam"...I ask, "how much" he says $1500...I said, "is there any discomfort?", he said well you will be sore a while...I told him 1500 and discomfort?...
forget it (he must make 1395 on that exam.......went and got another doctor after 8 years here...a young female (under 40...young to me)..she doesn't ask me about that exam, just the 'ol glove routine...(at least she's the right gender and you ain't gotta worry about 2 hands on your shoulder:mrgreen:
) and the 'ol schmear test
works for me.
Hope they never find anything...but if they did there's no insurance til 65 anyway..
Now do the right thing and go out and find a female practitioner
