By the way, my family's monthly health insurance payment is around $3,500 an month. And our deductible is what? Twice that? I need to double check that.
But it's insane. Even with Obamacare, it's still insane.
And the insurance company gets to override what my doctors say should be part of my recovery care.
Um, so, as a part of today's insurance controlled health care...I've had life saving procedures declined by my insurance, including the initial colonoscopy that should have been covered by rote just because of my age let alone my symptoms that indicated a tumor.
In addition to focusing on my path to recovery, I and my family have to start the battle with our insurance company.
We're already planning on how to deal with what we expect to be our deductible around $7-8k. Just to keep me alive.

"When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference...Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word 'her' - a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human."
I'm just so happy to be alive, and that I might actually be Cancer free. Yeah, yeah, more tests before it's sure....but I might actually be cancer free now!
So, if I'm even more socially awkward than usual, please forgive me...and celebrate with me!
Even if it turns out I might actually need Chemo....I'm gonna focus on the recovery I'm in now.
