trickykittySo, here's the things that pissed me off the other day.
I've disabled comments. Don't bother. I'm not in the mood for them. No {hugs}, recommendations, stories. Just - no. I'm mostly posting this merely to rant anyway.
1) My insurance is denying my claims for my surgery and any related testing from this past spring - pre-existing condition. This is the same insurance that's costing me $170/mo more than what I was paying last year, and that my regular doctor stopped accepting just after I signed up. I really don't know why the fuck I bothered. I don't have amounts yet, but I'm guessing I'll have to come up with ~$10k to cover the balance. I now have the happy pleasure of haggling with the hospital, anesthesiologist, pathologist, pharmacist, and my doctor to decrease any amounts that will be due and set up workable payment plans. This was the surgery that wiped out my savings account just to cover the deductible to begin with. I was hoping to start building my savings back up this year.
Thanks for the thought that I know a few of you are probably having right now, but I've already looked into the Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan. I don't qualify, because I've had continuous coverage. I'm not losing my insurance, just coverage for this specific issue.
2) I will be watching my two eldest nephews Sun through Thursday. My parents scheduled a vacation earlier this year, and my sister and BD2 are back on drugs and can't be trusted not steal stuff out of the house, let alone care for the boys. BD2's parents will be watching the baby, so that's one less munchkin for me to care for. I'm not upset at having to watch the boys, and in fact I'm kind of looking forward to it. It's the reason that I'm having to watch them that's rubbing me wrong.
Not only that, but Dad is insisting on paying me for my "services" during this time. This is upsetting me. My parent's covered about 2/3 of the cost of my surgery because I ran out of funds (see #1 above), and I still don't have the ability to pay them back. They are the primary caretakers of the boys, Mom's not working, I could go on. It upsets me that they are even offering to pay me for this, and knowing Dad, I won't be able to get away with not accepting some amount of cash from him. I'd seriously prefer they use money to fix up areas of the house that are in dire need of repair rather than paying me to watch my favorite (if not highly rambunctious) boys.
3) There's other random on-going things, but nothing as big as the two above.
