Last week at the doctor I was given a choice between two meds and without even thinking about it, the first question out of my mouth was, "is there a difference in cost?" Immediately I thought I should have asked her, instead, which she would recommend and why. Although I am 26, this is the first time I'm paying for my own health insurance and the first time that I'm acutely aware of being a poor student. Perhaps I'm being overly cheap, but I now consider whether a doctor's visit will be billed as an annual physical (free) or not ($20 co-pay) and make decisions accordingly.
When was the first time you became aware of the cost of healthcare? When did it first begin to influence your decisions?
