Health Insurance Rant

The girls and I have health Insurance through one company and Caleb another as he failed to pay a bill on time and was dropped due to a heart problem probably left over from Lyme. It would seem they are trying to drop the rest of us now as we tried to pay one bill by three different credit cards -all good- and they entered the expiration date incorrectly each time and then tried to charge us an extra fifty for there troubles. They may only hire dyslexics and I'm being paranoid? They told me they won't cover us in Europe and recommended another company who has denied Anja for Lyme with on-going treatment despite the fact that she is almost done with her Bartonella treatment and uses doctors who won't accept insurance. I appealed the denial but process is too slow. Lyme doctors no longer use insurance. It allows them to keep their license. Some Lyme doctors have lost their license for continuing to treat their patients when the patients were declared cured by the insurance companies. So the Lyme specialists do not take insurance of any kind. And if there is a break in insurance, you (the patient) lose. All this may not be news to those of you who have seen "Sicko" already. I don't know. I haven't seen it yet.
