In reply to A.

Oh, my state’s resistance to expanding Medicaid has been SO frustrating. It’s an entirely separate rant.

Happy holidays to you, too!

I didn’t get any of that. Once Oct 1st rolled around, I went to our Govt Assistance website and signed up for Medicaid. I qualify for it since I don’t make enough money and my state was one of the ones to decide that “yes, lower income peoples that are in that middle ground need to finally be able to have medical insurance.” A few weeks later, I got a call and letter from that department requesting my ID and proof of income and a few weeks later, I got a letter saying that as of of Jan 2014, I will be covered. Can’t wait… I missed my 100% covered medical and helps me huge until I can eventually afford “middle/higher income” insurance. In the mean time, I had all of my doctors write me enough prescriptions to last me until Jan and get them all at very discounted prices using http://www.goodrx.com/

Happy Holidays, Cole <3

In reply to Ange. You're totally right. They're not known for being awesome but this? Is a wee bit ridiculous.

Hah. Maybe they needed to give people jobs so they decided folding and sealing envelopes for massive amounts of unnecessary mail was the solution!
The government’s not very well known for its efficiency, though.

In reply to Ashe. I'm pretty sure I even bitched about this last year
