How do copays affect the decisions you or your family make about your healthcare and your budget?

Is there anything else you’d like us to know?

Please tell us how some or all of these changes affect you, your family, or your community. Well in one way I support the change but only in certain cases. I believe a person’s health, medication and income should play a part in who should pay and how often. For instance, if an elderly or disabled person who must receive frequent health care and/or are on multiple medications then there should be more consideration should be taken. However an able bodied, working recipient who may not visit the doctor often and/or doesn’t take many or any prescriptions should require the co pay. I go to physical therapy twice a week and see a physician at least once a month or so. These co pays will start to add up for me, however they are considerably less expensive than if regular insurance were available to me. At this point we are able to afford the co pays, but that may be more difficult due to living pay check to pay check.
