Library school sounds a lot more serene.
I can't believe the state of health care in this nation.
The US health care system is so broken it's not even funny. Like everyone I have my share of horror stories (such as insurance denying the use of an ambulance for my emergency appendectomy several years back). Since we've been in NZ almost a year we've paid maybe $50 on medical stuff – and that's been for five or six doctors visits for Toddler Peter and a few prescriptions (who's been sick a lot since starting day care). And NO paperwork, NO denials of care, very little hassle. It isn't perfect - taxes are higher to compensate - but I'd gladly pay more to avoid the sheer lunatic uncertainty inherent in the corrupt US system. End of rant!
Hmmm...I had one incident with an insurance company that I always suspected was intentional malfeasance. My COBRA insurance was set to run out at the end of October. So I scheduled as many appointments as I could for that month before it ran out: physical, gyno, allergist, whatever. What I failed to notice, however, was that the last bill never arrived in the mail. I paid all my bills that came in as they arrived, but didn't write a check for the one that didn't. All of those October appointments were denied because the last month of my insurance was deemed to be cancelled for lack of payment. I always wondered how many other final bills somehow got lost in the mail.
Well written article.
