When my husband lost his job to a workers comp claim we lost our insurance, Medicaid was never expanded in my state. We had zero insurance.

My T and Pdocs company had a program for people like me, they also had me on a medication plan , the only Med I had to pay for was Xanax.

If we needed to see a doctor for any illness we had to pay out of pocket for visit and for any meds.

Well I finally won my SSDI I got my Medicare card and social security back dated my eligibility date 10-11 months earlier so I got a huge bill for appts I had for T and Pdoc

It took almost 4 hours sitting in front of a SS employee to get them to understand that no I didn’t even get approved until X date.

Social security over all for decades has been a disaster.

The only time errors are fixed is when a person like me or someones grandmother has her power turned off because her deposit didn’t happen that month.

My husband absolutely can not handle dealing with all the crap over the last 2 days and would just stop seeing doctors and stop all his meds and just die ... and he is serious when it comes to this stuff.

And that is what every insurance company on the planet be it health , drugs or car insurance wants .. make things difficult enough and hope people give up and they save money by the truck loads

It’s disgusting
