An unpopular topic, I know...
But a topic you may need addressed one day... for yourself... because none of us are getting any younger.
Today put another clinch in my already dismal view of our healthcare system.
Otherwise, I could be heathier than you. Without healthcare... I'm sure I'm dieing a faster death...
I'm home now after being told the immediate growth on my wrist is a non-emergency.
For me...?? It's the world... my grandmother just died a couple years ago from bone cancer.
Enter Type I Diabetes.
My greedy boss got rid of me a few years ago so he could lick his chops of a juicy County business deal... I hope the FBI is all over his ass!!!
How was I to know that under 20 employees don't get COBRA? He did... He knew he was screwing me... hard!
So, I got screwed from the bad boys...enter a break in healthcare coverage...
But I tried, and tried, and tried, and tried... enter open enrollment... and tried..
A friend finally showed me the Ohio Underwriters Insurance Guide...
Not to encourage me...
To save me the wasted time and anquish of applying again... and again... and again... for health insurance... to be told... a resounding... "NO!"
I HAVE THE ONE DISEASE THEY BELIEVE TO BE AN EXCLUSIVE EXPENSE. NON-PROFIT. CANCER? Under conditions. TYPE II? Under conditions.
QUOTE. UNQUOTE. ME! PERMANENT DENY...!!!
I'm dieing a nastier death than you. Even if I live a relatively healthier life than you.. I'm still dieing faster and worse with no healthcare. A ship with no navigation equipment, basically.
My contribution to society doesn't matter. I am simply an expense
An EXPENSE on a TABLE of PROFIT.
So, at the end of the day... all I am... is a LOSS to an insurance underwriter's profit matrix... I AM A LOSS. Think about it... I AM A LOSS.
LOSS. NO PROFIT. LOSS.
On some State's Insurance Table... So they say...
Do YOU want to be a LOSS???? Are you? I don't think so... I'm not.. At least the people who depend on my say I'm not...
So here I type... sans healthcare... otherwise healthy... typing with my left hand... because I have an "unimportant," "non-emergency" growth on my right wrist which makes me temporarily disabled, but because I have diabetes... "that must have caused it..." blah blah blah.
Wake up! Get on board! You are right behind me on this issue!!!
