Loving Life with Diabetes

I hate insurance companies

I went to the doctor last week to find out what was wrong with my stomach. I got a prescription for prolosec and was told they don’t cover it. My doctors office asked me to call and find out what was covered. My insurance then told me they have to have a list of names to figure out what is covered by my insurance.

I’m thinking they are just lazy and don’t want to look it up. I’m sorry if you work for an insurance company you should have an idea of what drugs are what. If not don’t work there! I’m not happy at this moment as I don’t have the money to buy over the counter. It’s just too much. So I guess I do nothing and at this point I’m not sure I even want to deal with any of it anymore. I’m starting to understand why people say it’s hard to be a diabetic. It wouldn’t be so bad if insurance companies were not so discriminative toward their sick clients.

Insurance

I am not sure who I am going to vote for in the next election but I do know it will all come down to who I think can get nationwide insurance. Right now I will not qualify for insurance when I am taken off my parents because I have a preexisting condition. This leaves me with many many bills and right now really no way to pay them.

I am going to have to be taken off of all of my medications except one, I may be able to afford that, but it all depends. I think our country really needs to take a look at what we are doing to each other. My step father is pay $100 a week for his health insurance. Thats over $5000 a year! I’m sure any nationwide health care plan will not cost us this much.

I would just like to know when our government is going to start caring about us citizens instead of other countries?
