61. Thank you for sharing your story.

Before the exchanges were in place in January 2014, ACA was covering people who previously could not get coverage.

I have a friend with a serious hand injury and MRSA and lots of pain, I helper her in 2010 navigate the system, apply and then get refused and turn that refusal into a plan at $350/month so that she could get basic care.

Your case sounds very severe and, yes, I hate Blue Cross. I only went to them out of convenience at the time as they were my company under COBRA from a job I left.

They refused a $27,500 LifeFlight saying "you say you fell and hit your head... You could have taken a land ambulance".

I had to fight them on that and 13 other claims, and they wouldn't have given in, I'll bet, except that ACA has a mechanism for taking a grievance to the next level, and there's a level after that.

But it takes diligence!

Take care!
