pray that I don't get mangled by squirrels

I hate health insurance companies! I realize that when they do work for you, they have very awesome powers, like paying 80% of expensive medications and surgeries, which is so amazing and fun to me. But getting them to just DO anything is like pulling teeth! I don't know why needing to speak to specialists consists of so many illogical steps, why you have to have to talk to the claims department every 6 months to continue getting your benefits, even though you are already entitled to them by being a plan member...I just found out that my mother's insurance company cut me off when I was 19 even though they are supposed to cover students until they are 25, and even though multiple letters proving that I was a student have been sent to them on multiple occasions. And I've been going for the last two years thinking that I was covered under her insurance! Thank God nothing terrible happened to me in that time. Recently I've needed to make various checkup appointments and my mother's company assures us that I am covered, but the insurance company doesn't recognize my account at all. I'll just have to pray that I don't get mangled while they figure their shit out. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Insurance companies DO suck. You should as me one time about the insurance legal debate that my dad was in (as a lawyer). It will blow your mind.

Geoffrey, oh my god! That's hilarious! But now I really want to know why squirrels have such a problem with it. We need to get some more data.
