Does insurance cover you?

Is your insurance really a help, or not?  I was curious to find out how much of your treatment and medication is actually covered.  You answered by taking our poll!  Here’s what you said:

Q: How much of your treatment has your insurance covered?

Thanks for your responses!  Quite a few of you have (amazingly) gotten full coverage.  But there are still about 30% who must pay at least 50% of the cost out-of-pocket.  Ouch!

Have ideas and stories that will help others make the most of their insurance (honestly, of course)?  Share your ideas in our current Community Question.
