I am trying, so hard to get out of this 'slump.'
Where is my 'rebound' button when I need it? I need it now.
You ever feel as though, -- when it rains it pours.
This is a post about health insurance, and me feeling overwhelmed, and helpless.
How are people suppose to fight when they have to constantly pay millions of money to their health insurance? In addition, how are they suppose to fight when Medicare is only offered to those who had been previously employed around my age (thankfully not me, since I took a job right after college).
How are we suppose to survive?
We found out recently that my 'plan' was not in fact what I was informed. The 36 months of coverage, was actually 18 months, and now I feel like I've taken a few punches to the stomach. Actually, it feels like a whole football team just kicked my butt, and then took a few bats to the stomach.
A stomach in which I, am never hungry or thirsty, and I'm just trying to survive.
Although we have a month to figure this out, I am upset, angry, and sad that this is what fellow survivors have to deal with on top of trying to stay alive.
I am beat up.
Maybe the health insurance companies know it. Maybe someone told them.
Because at this rate, how are we (cancer survivors) who don't have any coverage, or long term plans because they have a chronic cancer, suppose to survive? How are we suppose to keep going, when we have to worry about COBRA ending, and Medicare not being able to cover the amount of prescriptions that I need. I'm no millionare here. Trust me, most cancer patients aren't.
I ask you if you are to comment on this topic, please don't tell me how to handle my policies -- I have family and myself attempting to figure this out. I just needed to vent. We did and are doing the best we can, no one has any idea how hard all of this really is. No one except my fellow, rejected-health care plan, warriors.
Hopefully that 'rebound' button will show up soon, it would be nice..

Hey sister. I hear you loud and clear. I'm aching for you and ever more indignant. My love to you and yours. Happy Birthday, btw.
Hi Bek,
Just want you to know I understand exactly what you're talking about, ugh...
I know that you'll sort this out and things will get better.
Until then, please hang in there and know that I'm of course always rooting for you :)
Big Hug and some sunshine for you!
