Talkback: Your health costs
Health care reform looks different to each person — because health insurance options vary so much for each family.
We want to know about your health plan. If you have it, how much do you pay and what do you get for it? Is it a good plan for a reasonable amount, or do you pay a fortune for what is essentially catastrophic coverage? What does reform mean to you?
If you don’t have it, what do you do instead? Do you not visit the doctor, or do you find physicians who will work with you? Have you had success negotiating costs?. What could you pay/be willing to pay for insurance? What does reform mean to you?
Tell us your story — or the basics — and a reporter could contact you to discuss your situation for an upcoming story on CNNMoney.
