I was told that after my insurance runs out on Oct 31, 2009 that is 18 days from now I should consider continuing my insurance with COBRA Insurance. Never had to deal with them. But have never heard anything good.

So I went to their website to see what they had and this is what I found:

======================================

“When should you continue your group health plan benefits under COBRA?
You should seriously consider continuing your health benefits under COBRA if you…

* have had comprehensive benefits and don’t mind paying more for them.
* want continual, guaranteed coverage at a higher cost.
* have had recent health problems.
* have had ongoing health problems.
* are taking expensive medications.
* have been declined for private insurance recently.
* have a history of medical problems.
* have had an accident within the 60 day window of enrollment.
* are pregnant or planning to get that way.
* got a job and your new employer does not offer a health plan“.

============================================

Now all things considered.

I Understand that COBRA is a LAW not a Medical Insurance Company.

Look at the First qualifier.

“have had comprehensive benefits and don’t mind paying more for them“.

MORE for them???? MORE???

What fucking planet did these bureaucratic money grubbing assholes wake up on?

So let me get this straight.

I just lost my job. I lose my insurance in 18 days. But if I want to keep it then all I have to do is pay MORE and I can keep it.

I did read that correctly didn’t I?

Yes I did!

Where in all that is fucking proper and intelligent do they think I can afford to pay MORE for insurance when I just got terminated?

I mean lets get real here. Without my income we are not going to be able to afford the bills we currently have like rent, food, medications, car, insurance (both car and us) utilities. You know the basic amenities that one actually needs in order to live.

The answer. They don’t fucking care. They do not care if we live or die. Just that they get their overpriced premiums every month.

Yeah I can see that this is not going to bode well.  Let’s hope that the Attorney has something positive to tell me when I go see him on Thursday.

Peace Out

Either way it will fix my breathing problem. [...]]]>

It is confirmed, I am a freak of nature. There is no reason why the medications I am taking/using should not work. But the good Doctor is now putting me on some new cutting edge stuff that is supposed to help. Either that or kill me.

Either way it will fix my breathing problem. Also took enough blood to feed a small family of vampires, but they claim it is for tests. 1 of which I wont get the results back for at least 6 weeks.

So I now have to use a nebulizer (breathing machine) at least 6 times a day. 3 times a day with 2 different medications mixed in, then 2 times a day with the “new” medication (which I have to withdraw from a vial with a hypodermic needle) and then 1 time a day with the old standby Albuterol. At the end of a 6 dose day I am now so FUCKING wired I cant sit still.

And it is not like back in the day Yo, when I experimented with various substances. Oh Fuck No. There is NO FUCKING HIGH!!!

Just the Down/Crash and Burn, shakes, sweats, nausea and feeling like I have been hit with a fucking baseball bat.

Man I am a BITTER old man.

And because of all this the Doctor says, “Several more weeks out of work, until I can get the results of all these tests back“.

My bank account has now run dry. And if work lets me go because I can not function in the capacity I was hired for, what can I do? I mean really. So I lose my Insurance as well as my job. Even though it may only be a temporary situation as it stands right now. At least I pray that it is.

Because as everyone knows it is so fucking simple to get other insurance when you are on record with having a pre-existing condition.

Right now I HATE the World.  I cant think straight / Clearly and I wish I was in England where they have socialized Medicine and not have to go broke and lose everything.

Instead we feed the Greed of Corp America. FUCK YOU!

Pissed off Wheezing, Jittery, Crazy Fucking,
