Insurance is crazy.

I hate January. Then you start all over with the deductible, the out of pocket max, and all that fun stuff. I just picked up two of Jax meds and had to pay 75 dollars! Outrageous. Then I had to check my insurance card to see why I was paying more than my copays. I still haven't figured it out.

And then you have to get five hundred pieces of paper for one visit. You get their statement that says they sent it to your insurance. Then you get the Explanation of benefits from your insurance, then you get the actual bill. Do they really have to kill that many trees. I don't really need to get 5 to 10 envelopes every day. I'm being buried in paperwork and trying to figure out what I actually owe.

And I have good insurance, and I still pay about 200 a month for Jax meds. I just cry for other families who don't have good insurance. I just hope Obama concentrates on our insurance companies, because its so out of hand. When they charge 1500 dollars a month for a special formula, and 1000 for the feeding pump. And they wouldn't let me have two oxygen regulators because they only pay for one. I just went online and I can buy a regulator for 37 to 69 dollars. So thats what I'm going to do. Buy my own and give the one back to the insurance company and say here you go, then I'm not paying 200 a month for the regulator. And these poor kidos on medicaid are being denied everything right now because of the economy. Jax therapists are bored because the've lost all thier medicaid kids. No child should go without insurance. Period.

And go read Emersons journal, they need help because she maxed out their insurance and now medicaid won't cover her because she's being treated out of state. She can't be placed back on the transplant list without coverage. and she will die in 6 months without a transplant. Ridiculous.
Ok I've vented now, I can't end on a sour note so here's a cute pic of Jax that his artist made for him.
