Because books.

Yeah, I don't have an answer other than what Kathy suggested, quester. That's the proverbial rock and a hard place situation. That said, we've been without health insurance for a while now, and it's awful to try to manage self-pay. Most of the time I'm just praying someone doesn't break a leg or whatever.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What does the health reform law say about pre-existing conditions and when does that kick in?

bless the hivemind - someone always has an answer!

In mememe news, my company switched health insurance companies effective April 1. I started getting worried because, hey, it's April 21 and I haven't gotten a card. All I have is a print-out of an e-mail from our HR person with the name and phone number of a person to call to verify coverage. Everyone else has their card; everyone else - except one older woman with health problems and me - has had their card for a week or two now.

Last night I got a call from the company and, yes, I'm insured. yay

Starting in 2014, insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage with people with preexisting conditions.

Well, I answered my own question. According to [link] the pre-existing condition coverage does not start till 2014.

eta: And, Scola answered my question. Thanks!

Fridays are no good for me. I have a therapy session in the middle of the day.

Doesn't BK count as a therapy session?
