Everything you wanted to know, and then some. The honest truth, as I know it to be. Especially how I deal with being chronically ill with crohns, colitis, fibromyalgia and more. Keep up with me, the kids and anything else that goes through my brain.
Medicare says that because hubbys job insures more then 100 people his insurance is now primary. His insurance wont pay for anything pre existing until after October 9 of this year. Medicare will not allow me to drop his insurance. Since his is now primary, they only pick up certain deductables based on their guidelines, which so far, is not much
They feel that unless my medications are life savings, such as needed for a transplant or something, they wont pay for it. Its cheaper to allow me to risk death or just remove my colon then spend up to $10,000 a month to save it. They also feel they will not pay for anything experimental or anything that's not SPECIFIC to my illness. You know how like with FMS you might try an antidepressant and for some it helps with the pain. Well they don't feel that way
We owe thousands and thousands of dollars right now just from deductables. Even with medicare part D paying my meds, its so many and so many over the counters I still have to get, its easily running us $50-$75 a week.
Today another tooth crumbled and I almost choked on it. It was just Terry and I here and I never taught him to call 911. I was taking my meds and the tooth just crumbled. Now my throat is more sore then ever before and there are little pieces of tooth that keep breaking. Medicare wont pay for my teeth to be removed either.
I don't qualify for state aid, medicaid or anything else because my hubby works. Yet we cant even afford HBO on cable. We have no credit cards, no car payment and the only "luxury" we actually have is the Internet. Which I consider a must as its the only way I have of getting to the outside world
It would be cheaper for me to die and get buried them to try to keep me alive and healthy. I am really getting tired of all this fighting just for what seems to me a basic human right. The US cares more about Oprahs sick dog then they do for me
and we always will!
