I started a new job and in july will beable to cover my wife and I Health, Vision and Dental for $66 [View all]

a month.


I want her to drop her insurance right now. We are paying $100.00 a month for her health insurance right now and it is crap. She got the insurance through one of the staffing agencies she is with. She pays $100.00 just for health care and she has gone to the doctor twice and had blood work done. The total bill is $580 dollars. This is stuff the insurance company is suppose to be covering. My step-mother is a paralegal and was on a conference call with my wife and her insurance company and she is reading the coverage policy word for word to the supervisor who is dancing around the issue.

They claim that they can deny any claim at anytime.

I told my wife just drop them now because we shouldn't pay for something that isn't working.

She is out of her depression pills. We can't pay for her to see the doctor now until she finds a job.

PA unemployment denied her claim because they are only looking at the work she did in Washington country. They have denied her appeal. My wife is getting worse with her depression. I am at my wits end and I'm frustrated with everything!

FUCK THIS COUNTRY!!!!

We are not a great place we are on a race down hill quickly.

Thank you for letting me vent.
