So I have survived the first month of my new job. In return, they gave me a t-shirt! Woo!
And at some point in the near future they will insure me. Looking over my benefits makes me want to move to Canada. It would be useless for me to join the PPO because my “pre-existing condition” wouldn’t be insured for however long I didn’t have insurance. That would be about a year. So there are 2 HMO’s I can join. HMO1 is small and cheap and does not include the hospital that my doctors work out of. HMO2 (damn I can’t stop typing homo) is larger and includes the hospital and damn is it expensive for an HMO!
I don’t want to switch doctors because new doctors like repeating tests that have been done a million times and sometimes switching my meds, which makes robot angry. Even ghetto Cook County wanted to do tests. I told the nurse that the tests they wanted have always come back normal and weren’t necessary but she’s like “Noo! Follow my regime or no prescriptions for you!” Since my meds are about $300/month, I of course agree to the prodding.
Even though overpriced insurance is stupid and annoying, it will be nice to be able to go to the doctor and tell him/her to fix my knees because they hurt like an old lady’s. And if I wasn’t fucking terrified of it, I could get laser beam eye surgery pretty cheap. If they change the surgery so I can make laser beams come out of my eyes, then I will do it.
