i still live with my parents. i'm on their insurance. they won't let me go to the doctor because a $20 copay and essentially a free visit is "too much"

      My mom's the one who takes care of me.. and when she's upset or being petty cus I locked myself in my room for a few days and chose to distance myself from her.. She'll be equally as petty and not go get prescriptions or take me to my appointments until I apologise to her..💀 But the good thing is that I hardly ever have appointments.. and they have fees and shit that goes back to me💀

      Wow! That is super frustrating! If you are paying then they should not be able to say anything legally. Like just because you are on their insurance if you sign the papers and pay then you are financially responsible not them FYI! I worked in insurance billing

      If your paying it then it shouldn't be a issue. And I would tell them it could be something serious and you could end up in er and it be a bigger copay instead.

        @lillypod21 correct! Like getting something checked out early is much cheaper than leaving a problem alone then needing things later down the line
