My Insurance Company Killed Me, Despite Obamacare - DailyBeast

54. Oh for Pete's sake - his age was incidental as they deny deny deny whatever

Your damn age happens to be.

A ten yr old needs a special treatment to save his leg, and the Big Insurers will deny it to save themselves money.

I myself had jaw surgery the summer of 2009. I went jumping through all applicable hoops to get the surgery, and since the Big Insurer, Friggin POS Anthem, said I had to pay upfront and they would re-imburse afterwards, that is what I did.

Then they told me that I couldn't submit paperwork that had to be sent in with the claim. Only the doctors could submit the paperwork with claim forms. Then they told the surgeons that they weren't suppsoed to do anything; I was. But of course, they told me it was the doctors, and since no one ever sent me claim forms, how could I submit anything.

I did try and fight with them, but gave up, largely because during that month I was in pain from the surgery. (Try talking to people after you have had a jaw operation.)


In the end, I ended not getting re-imbursed. And yet Anthem is one of three Big Insurers that is offered to me, like shit on a shingle, to choose from in terms of the Calif exchange.

If Bush had had Rahm Emanuel and Liz Fowler write this piece of shit bogus Act, the Democrat loyalists here would be up in arms. But because it is their special savior, the Big Corporations' favorite spokesperson, they refuse to admit that reform that doesn't actually reform is nothing more than an enabling of the parasites.
