This week really could use some good news.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Oh crap ginger, that sucks on so many levels! Someone better get that sorted for you posthaste, it's rage inducing how anti-patient our insurance system continues to be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Ginger, that's appalling! I urge you to look into alternatives like programs, often through the manufacturers, that help defray costs.
Here's a story with a happy ending: I remember my MiL getting hit by the costs of chemo in a similar way. One month it was $300, the next it was $3000. My husband and I had to absorb the extra cost as she couldn't afford it. With the social worker's help we kept looking for alternatives, and the third month the manufacturer not only charged us $3 for the medicine, they reimbursed us for the previous month's costs.

Ack, Ginger, that's hella expensive!! Is the out-of-pocket maximum really high?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damnit, Ginger. I'm so sorry. And if beating your fists against the bureaucracy gets to be too much, I've got experience with insurance phone hell and I know there are other Buffistas willing to do phone battle as needed; just let us know if you need someone to give you a break and be your Kaiser phone proxy.

That's awful, Ginger! I hope you can find an acceptable solution soon.

Here's the most frustrating part: The change also affects my monthly infusion for my bones, but for my first two infusions of this year, Kaiser charged me the old rate, so I had no clue about the change until it was too late to go back to my old plan.

Because books.
That's obscene, Ginger. I'm so sorry. I hope someone can help.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
God, Ginger, how maddening.
