I am so angry, I could scream!!!!

[Guest guest]

I updated you all with a positive report that I was set for surgery

on Jan. 8th and that I had my support system in place. In other

words, everything was a go!

My husband went to work at 6:30am this morning and was home by

7:45am. I got up and asked him why he was home. I thought he got sick

being I just got over a nasty bug. He said no that he was not sick.

He told me he got laid off along with 65 other people! The first

thing I thought about was OMG what about the insurance. I called the

human resource department and get this, as of seventeen minutes ago,

I do not have any health insurance at all!!!

The group admin told me that the insurance would expire at midnight

tonight. I never heard such a thing. I called Anthem BC/BS and they

confirmed it. They said I could have cobra, but at what cost I asked

them. They said probably around a thousand dollars a month!!! I said

WHAT!

I stated to them, you mean to tell me that you laid off my husband

after four years of service and never missed one day and I have to

pay this much money! I can't stand this current government, but I

degres!

So in the end, I had to call the doctor and cancell the surgery. I

have been in tears all day. I want to know why I should have to live

in debilitating pain every day of my life. Is this my life plan. It

is not fair!

I am going to my medical doctor tomorrow and talk to her. There maybe

a hospital around that takes people without insurance who really

needs surgery. My luck it will be a teaching hospital and I will have

different interns, residents and doctors poking me.

I guess beggers can't be choosers.

His company said that they would take care of filing for unemployment

insurance for all employees laid off. My friends boyfriend also got

laid off today.

Thanks for letting me vent and if you have any ideas on how I can get

this surgery done, please let me know! Dawn
