So I posted a few weeks back about all this bullshit with bluecross cutting off my medication coverage because I withheld information regarding my bipolar disorder. In other words they are accusing me of lying, and I take that as an attack on my character.
I tried to fight it for weeks and weeks, and I finally just gave in and reapplied only to get my rates hiked two fold for two nearly identical plans with the only difference being that one covers my medication.
Well, Friday while at work (Yay, back to work!!) I am trying to kill the last few minutes of the day but doing some insurance shopping. I find out that there is a four month waiting period for this bullshit Alberta Health Care Insurance Program. Which, since I need medication to function and help me keep the beast in a box this posed a giant issue.
Today the woman I have dealt with at Blue Cross, who evidently does not understand that time is linear and that April comes BEFORE June in the course of the year. She emailed me back and said that because I am coming off of another plan, the government is waiving that waiting period.
How nice, the government who ultimately removed me from my insurance is graciously waiving the waiting period. How nice, but still will not answer the question of if I will have to pay $100 up front when I pick up my medication. Which as I mentioned, my medications cost $117 so basic math tells us that the increased monthly rates of $125/month for the insurance clones + this possible $100 copay. Raises the cost of my medication to $225/month.
If we continue doing the math and subtract $117 from $225 that is $108 that is highly questionable if I should be paying or not.
I am openly taking suggestions for Health Insurance providers in Canada who have to answer to someone. Other than the bipolar disorder I am completely healthy. Though that hangnail I might have next week might disqualify me from anything. I wonder if the fact that I have fractured the medial malleous of my right ankle three times will get me removed from something else.
Wow, my home province is more backward than most third world countries and my current province likes to bilk money and screw over it's residents. Good to know.
I filed a complaint with the Health Ombudsman, I'm done being nice and polite. I keep getting kicked around here because I'm polite and respectful of other people, which is how I was raised. Ya know, with morals. Come on Alberta, you want to play with fire? Well peaches you are going to get incinerated. Messing with powers beyond your kin. Let's have a go, come on, you've fired the first shot.
