Commissioners voted at a recent meeting to change to Cigna's coverage for all county employees.

Bankruptcy at one time was a true financial protective instrument. Thanks to the BOE health insurance of a exspouse it proved to be a lifesaver.

IN GOD WE TRUST

Clear reason why i cant get insurance for my family because of people like you and your ex wife milking the system for your benefit. She let you hold on until the bill was covered! Frauds.

Oh No, I didn't know you had health problem. Didn't even know your ex worked for the school. And I certainly didn't know your middle inititial stood for Jimbo. I'll say another prayer for you George.

As I said earlier, Upson Hospital saved my life even though I couldn't pay. I was there worrying about the bill and they told me it was based on my income.

I had to go to Griffin hospital because Upson hospital didn't have the kind of doctor they said I needed. They give me the name of a doctor in Griffin so I went to him.

He ordered a CT scan and said I had to see another doctor because I have more going on than just what he was looking at. The other doctor said I had to get a MRI at Griffin hospital.

So I got both at Griffin hospital.

I thought it would be like Upson, so I took proof of my income and I come to find out it is based on income. Every dime you make in a years time! I wasn't in the hospital 3 hours time for both the CT scan & the MRI.

I have the feeling if my tax record's had said I made 50 thousand a year the Bill would have been 48 thousand of it.

I was sitting here with out lights for a couple of months, and Tenet got mad because I had a phone.

I think they ask how I paid my other bills 2 or 3 times. I had to tell them I don't have lights over and over. Then they said, " Well you have a phone!" When I told them a friend had helped me with the phone bill because of my health issues, it was like I set off a bomb.

The reason I put this here is to let people know who donate to the hospital. As I said I wasn't there 3 hours and the bill will take 80 to 90 % of my income for a year.
