Health insurance issues
I was talking with a friend of mine last night who is currently sick, but also facing the termination of her health insurance. She is unsure if/when she will be able to secure health insurance and get the care she needs. It’s both heartbreaking and scary.
Unfortunately, here in the United States, this is not terribly uncommon. In my life, there have been times that certain medications or procedures were denied by my insurance company. I’ve also had to put off seeking care until my new insurance “kicked in.” It feels like there are endless hoops that must be jumped through and nonsensical games that must be played in order to make sure health insurance does what it’s supposed to do.
Health insurance is what keeps me alive, but navigating the insurance system is the bane of my existence!
Have you had something similar happen? Have you ever gone for a period of time without access to health insurance? And for our friends not in the US, I’m very curious to hear how health insurance works in your country or area.
