Health Insurance

If you change jobs, you shouldn't have to change your doctor. I mean, maybe I'm crazy (I mean maybe I am, so what's it to you?), but I don't think that if I make a positive life decision to get out from under Manager From Hell, I should have to change my insurance company and very likely change my Primary Care Provider.

And that's such a crock. What kind of euphamistic term is that anyway? Primary Care Provider. Hello! I'M my primary care provider, thank you very much.

I've been working with and sometimes without benefits since 198?-cough, gag, wheeze and I can't even tell you how many doctors I've gone through just because I've moved, I've changed jobs, or my employer or even provider have changed plans. I count myself one of the lucky ones, though, because for the most part I've been healthy. Knock on wood (BWT meaning: may lightning strike this tree rather than me for saying that).

I haven't seen Sicko yet. Dying to. Pun intended. Waiting for it to make it to the cheap theatres. I'm broke, what can I say. Too much of my money goes to paying for razzin' frazzin' health insurance. But I'm not bitter, no. Have you see it?

What do you think?
