I have Type 1 Diabetes and currently live in the United Kingdom, so my care is free. How much will health care/medication cost me in the United States, if I were to emigrate?

Health Insurance Resources Online

The Georgetown University Health Policy Institute has a regularly updated consumer guide for getting and keeping health insurance for each state:

The American Diabetes Association offers health insurance information for people with diabetes:

My insulin would cost me about $150 per month, testing supplies another $300 or so, and my pump supplies would be $200-250. Cost of doctor's visits and blood work would add a couple more hundred on months when they are needed.

I would stay in the UK! It is outrageous living here in the US. I spend $9000 a year and I have great insurance.

My insulin copay per month is $38.
My other prescriptions are $40 a month.
Miscellaneous diabetic expenses cost me over $90 to $100 a month.
I visit my Endo doctor every 3 months at 10 buck a pop.
My cardiologist every 6 months costs me $25.
I've been in the ER twice this yr at $50 each time.
The foot doc twice a yr is $25 a visit.
Blood work every 3 months $100.
The diabetic clinic every 3 months $25
My pump supplies cost $50 every few months.
My insulin pump was 9 grand. I paid $50.
I spend a $10 copay per month for insurance.
The drug companies make a fortune on the Diabetics in the US.

health care is expensive & not so great in the United States, plus it's NOT guaranteed you will have health insurance here once you arrive, you need to apply & it's up to the insurance company if they want to accept & enroll you or not, many of them won't if you have a pre-existing condition, they don't care & IT SUCKS! There are over 10 billion people in the United States with no health insurance. It's a big problem here right now. If you get it for free in UK, then I suggest you stay there. Save your life.

I pay aprox $150 per month for diabetes medications, plus $120 a month for health insurance. I would estimate without insurance I'd be paying about $750 a month. On the months that I would have blood work or see the doctor it would increase significantly.
