I always worked a job and every year when the personel department asked what insurance plan I wanted I always said .I wanted the best plan. I paid the price with a deduction out of my check.
What happens is regardless of your coverage after you become disabled for 6 months the terms of coverage change.
You are considered [long term disabled] Your coverage changes. You get a crap policy with a different company.
I never knew this. All that security I thought I had was fiction.
All you guys working for large companys so your family is covered need to read the terms.
I had a wife that never worked because we thought it was better for the kids. Without job experience she had to get a job at wal mart to get coverage for her and the kids. She did get on full time and got medical. She is grandfathered in at wal mart. As Cb89 says wal mart no longer hires full time people so they dont have to Insure employees.
This country allows ins. companies to take away the coverage you worked for when you become a liability.
I had two D.V.T Blood clots two years apart in my mid fiftys. Thi first one almost killed me by going to my lungs. The second one destroyed the remaining deep veins in my left leg. Destroys ability to pump blood out of your leg. so you elevate to gravity drain by elevating.
Im going somewhere with this.
So we made adjustments and went from being an upper middle class family to a lower. Thats ok we still clicked along. Then 2013 stage 4a squamous cell carsonoma. Throat cancer. Now we just exist. I have not been back for a follow up on the cancer since my last radiation treatment. Going on 2 1/2 years. Maybee Ill get lucky. I have taken all that will take away from my family.
Im not complaining. Im pi==ed.
This is how fast your world can crash and its not because of being uninsured and to lazy to work for it.
This country will go third world if they dont get this insurance straitened out
Have a good job with good insurance and you have security. Wrong
We took my mom with dementia in for three years. Mom and dads estate got me a 60x 56 shop. I boght the materials to build it and got the cancer diagnosis three weeks later. If we had put mom in a home there would have been no estate left. I was her caretaker for three years. Thats the hardest thing Ive ever done. My grandkids never would have got to know her in a nursing home.
A little humor to top of the American insurance nightmare. My mom thought I was her husband!!! My wife got told off several times. Scary
Its to late for me but there needs to be about 100,000 people surround congress and not let them prissy pants polititions leave the building without a functional plan. Canada's plan may not work here but they could work from an outline that functions. Im sure its not perfect but nothings is.
My medical history is about as private as Miley Cirres's tongue.
Privacy doesnt exhist.
My truck projects are going to have to be self supporting. I do still have assets in machinery ,cars. trucks. Sell one to finish the next. Im just slower now. Thats the plan while I limp along.
Misspelled words were intentional. I'm tired
I get my high on heavy iron, the older and heavier the better I feel.
