Re: Yet another iron/anemia question/Jac

[Guest guest]

Jacque, I'm self-employed and carry my own insurance. Although it

would have been much cheaper, for this very reason, I absolutely

would not go with an HMO. I must have choice. I have no doubt that

we know more about " us " than 90% of the doctors out there.

I know many people simply don't have the option of chosing their own

insurance, so I think you really should get an attorney to send a

nice threatening letter on his or her own letterhead. Maybe have him

cc your State Dept. of Insurance and also, just for good measure,

your Congressman and of course, attach the supporting evidence from

your Gastro doc and any others stating the need for a revision. When

I get frustrated like this, I just bypass the little yes-men and go

right to the top. Whatever happens, happens, but it just makes me

feel better to be the mouse that roared. I think we know you well

enough by now to know that you're not the type to take crap from

anyone <BG>, but sometimes, it's easier for us to help others than

ourselves.

Good luck,

in NJ
