Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor’s office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it’s always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I paying $500+/month for?! It’s like paying for the privilege of having an exhausting part-time job.
And yes, I understand that insurance wants to weasel out of paying anything, but this isn’t even shadiness, just straight up incompetence and lack of communication/following procedures. The amount of emotional energy we have to spend untangling this stuff leaves us drained.
It’s sad how effective punching down on patients and workers is. They always use the bullshit Protestant work ethic thing to call folks lazy when we complain about the systemic abuses. And it’s a crime how the corporate bloodsuckers that pay little or no taxes want to frame the working class guy who needs reasonable accommodations and services as a “parasite”.
Unfortunately a big chunk of the voters fall for this song and dance year after year. Like your friend.
It’s all a “culture wars” diversionary tactic to keep us fighting each other instead of demanding systemic changes as a unified class of non-billionaires vs the elites.
