J. Steven York RESISTS<p>In other 'Merican health care adventures, I have learned that my prescriptions have fallen into what the insurance company calls "the donut hole," and I'll be responsible for 25% of my pharmacy co-pays in the future. Which dings me for over $1000 additional out-of-pocket between now and end-of-year. 'Merican "staying alive" payments and red-tape are AWESOME!
