(12,465 posts)60. Well, my gosh, you had insurance that you dared to USE!
That's when they start doing all of the things you described...when you're spending THEIR money. THEIR money. Like you get all of this for free.
You didn't want to use insurance; you wanted your son to be healthy. How do insurance companies show their "compassion"? By stepping in and making an already difficult life an absolute living hell.
They scrutinize everything at that point, down to the prescriptions that cost $1.29. It's horrible.
Everyone is outraged about loss of privacy and no respect for civil rights. Heck, the insurance companies perfected that long before anyone even noticed.
Peace. You deserve it.

You are awesome, and you say things that I am thinking but don't dare say myself.
