I have a new hip! I am so grateful. Is the system perfect, but so much better than anything I've had for years. In the US I was not able to afford healthcare. In MD which has a state insurance similar to Obama care<br />I made $200 too much to qualify for the insurance my clients were getting. I was being seen in a sliding scale clinic. after I married (my husband has NEVER paid any of my healthcare)my payment doubled. before I left I was paying full price. I had aa hip problem for 2 years. I was being given pain medication (I refused opiates)and something to relieve leg pain and help with sleep.Yes, I was grateful to be able to sleep. The reason nothing else was done was that my right had not been x-rayed at all.<br />I'm here less that a year, I have a new hip with in-home services oh and I had a new crown put on a tooth that broke during the yomim tovim. In the states I would never have been able to afford the hip surgery without being in debt for the rest of my life and the crown...oh well that would have been less than secondary to worry about.<br />I really feel I can be healthier here-I already am. I hope to be able to help others going through the transition to Israel's health care system. Others helped me otherwise I couldn't have been so successful.Oh I have Maccabi goldFrancine Root-Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981612261484663741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-70212429223908649802012-12-31T14:18:45.598+02:002012-12-31T14:18:45.598+02:00I find it's OK ...
