and will do so every single day until this changes.
I, like you, am livid.
I am losing my health insurance because my husband was force to change jobs. His new company has the world's worst HMO - a plan where I once sued two doctors for malpractice. I live in fear of having to see one of those doctors again, knowing that they are dangerous quacks who got away with their crimes only because I ran out of money to pay lawyers. The jawbone infection they caused by cutting my mouth open to the bone ramming a breathing tube down against my will during "routine" sinus surgery (after I insisted rightfully that the IV had been poked all the way THROUGH my vein) turned into a flesh-eating bacteria infection. But they wouldn't even prescribe an antibiotic. My dentist finally did. Then the bastards tried to talk an oral surgeon out of surgery, a records search revealed, because they didn't want to be held financially responsible for the damage they caused. This delayed surgery 2 more weeks while I found a surgeon who wasn't spinless.
By the time I got the surgery to fix their error, they had to cut between every tooth on my mouth, roll the flesh/gums back and hack away bone. I had so much pain I wound up in the ER with my arms numb from an electrolyte imbalance because i couldn't eat. Of course I couldn't wear the retainer left from after I'd had braces, so my teeth got crooked in the next few weeks and are so crooked still I hate to look in the mirror.
I had to pay for the life-saving surgery out of pocket, since oral surgery wasn't covered by this so-called health insurance. All I asked of these butchers was to pay for the surgery and pay for braces to restraighten my teeth, never mind all the pain and suffering they caused. The bastards refused and I couldn't afford the lawyer fees, so they got away with this.
I live in fear of having another sinus problems and being forced to go to the same doctor again, or having surgery (where you don't know which anesthesiologist you'll get) and winding up with the monster who did this to me.
We need a public option for people like me who have insurance, but it's so terrible that anything would be better!!!!!
Please folks, call these sons of bitches, plaster their posters across their districts, email their constituents, write letters to editors of newspapers in their districts, do whatever it takes! If you live in their districts, organize marches, rallies outside their offices. BITCH LIKE HELL UNTIL THIS CHANGES! Also stage protests outside the insurance companies that bought their votes!!!!!
