202. I was in a tremendous amount of pain, couldnt walk

Thu Dec 5, 2024, 06:43 PM

Dec 5

I needed a simple procedure.

Year long fucking battle with this company. Finally got it done. Then they tried to wiggle their way out of paying. They PURPOSELY kept making a single mistake on the account number. Countless fucking bills, countless hours of back and forth, hours of missed work.

Next time it was my anti depressants, emotional roller coaster ride, got really out of it.

On and on and on, ALL United HC!!

Through no fault of my own, i am NOW on UHC again, and fighting with med refills on a "caddy" policy i have through my employer.

I know i have sleep apnea, they wont approve the test.

So fuck him. I stand 100% behind my statement. I hope he felt real proper pain on his way out.
