((((tomi)))) i know what it's like to have medicaid, since i used to have medicaid for years before i got married. even though we have a good insurance coverage, it still can be a hassle. i do know all that "jumping through hoops" they make us do in order for us to get coverage for things like what you're going through.

i'm currently battling my insurance company for coverage on a treatment that i need. so, i'm jumping through crazy hoops. it's a long process for me, though (don't want to worry you - difference companies' processes run differently). i seriously hope you get through this without too much stress and hope your docs will be helpful (know that they also feel the pain of the insurance companies' myriad of rules and processes, too). anyway, i totally understand how you feel about having surgery done at the county hospital, as i would be the same way. i go to another city for the best care i can recieve (2 hour drive, and my hubby takes off work to take me there once a month).

wishing you the absolute best. ((((tomi))))
