Yep I do. My job insurance makes me or my premium is higher. Plus I gotta make sure I am healthy. Not trying to drop dead because of some shit I could have prevented. ​

Yes.
I am not an insurance guru (wife is), but there are several tests that if you do them annually, a supplemental insurance pays up to $150 per test, per individual, excluding kids. Physicals, mammograms, and a few other blood tests (can't remember them) are required.
You call in the procedure you had done, the company that provides the insurance will verify it with your doctor, and they send out the check, which usually arrives in about 5 business day.
Pretty easy money.
We use it to pay on the family deductible.

again I say

:eek::eek::eek:

and I hear you...she got all that handled especially for the kids, I just go to the appointments when she tells me now.

I know you might not feel comfortable saying the name but if you want you can PM me that.

But I will be calling mine beginning of the year to see if that is offered.

Because that is INCREDIBLE.

Kidney damn near shut down on me. Been on IV fluids for the past 30hrs. Been feeling really fucked up the past 5 days. Decided enough was enough last night. Doc told me trying to "wait it out" May have caused irreversible damage..

Every year and get my blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar level checked. I will say if you don't have life insurance and you have a history of anything above make sure your doctor is on the level before you get insurance because your monthly premium will go through the rough.

I go 2x per yr...once for work & once for myself. once you young cats hit 40, you'll see things differently, trust!

getting old(er) is not for punks. also, make sure your lady goes in for her well woman exams!

Yes I do, the company gives me $300 when I do an annual exam and an extra $300 if certain numbers are within a certain range.

I got go do the rounds next month...dentist, eyes, etc.

I'm dreading the physical cause I have to get THAT exam...I have been avoiding it for years but there was another member of my family with cancer so I gotta go and do it.

I realize that being embarrassed and not being completely honest can kill you.

ESPECIALLY if you have good insurance you SHOULD fam.

I just had mine a few weeks back and was happy I did.

Even though I finally had to have THAT exam done...:hmm:

If you have a family history of any type of illness you should.

If you have kids you should.

Just for preventative measures.

Hell just so you have a long healthy life you should.

No i dont go to the doctor every year. I don't have any insurance right now. I would go to the doctors if I did have insurance because my back is killing me right now. I think I may have pulled a muscle in my lower back or got a hernia this week.

a full physical with basic blood work wont cost you more than 200 bucks. not having insurance is no excuse.


i dont know you financial situation but i would assume if you have spare money to put towards bgol you can scrap up a few bucks to go to the doctor.
