Health Insurance

Yesterday the school nurse called saying my little girl doesn’t have a fever but is cuffing bad. I told her we will come to pick her up before her lunch and on our way to my doctor’s appointment. Now this is my little girl who had a broken leg for 6 weeks with a mom who is still suffering from vomiting and nausea. Coming home early or going to a doctor’s office and not enjoying the art class with the rest of her friends isn’t what a five year old would really like to do. While complaining about it we drove with her to an office my primary care doctor had referred me to twenty days earlier. After driving in the rain and reaching the not so friendly area we waited 45 min. passed my appointment only to be told they have not received the fax. With a full bladder, vomiting, and a room full of patients who have to share one bathroom I was on the verge of a collapse. Despite these all I had to wait two more hours before being told their fax seemed to be out of order! It is not the first time we have been disappointed with this insurance. Amazing that we pay so much money for the health insurance but can’t change it before the year is over. United States is not some socialist country where there is no competition. For the money we pay we simply have to be able to receive a better service and should have the option of changing.
