Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor’s office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it’s always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I paying $500+/month for?! It’s like paying for the privilege of having an exhausting part-time job.

And yes, I understand that insurance wants to weasel out of paying anything, but this isn’t even shadiness, just straight up incompetence and lack of communication/following procedures. The amount of emotional energy we have to spend untangling this stuff leaves us drained.

      How? Who do I vote for to make that happen?

          Yep. The powers that be routinely ignore the ones they don’t like.

          No, but there’s a pile of guns.

              Afaik, no there isn’t a federal referendum as a option in the US, could be wrong but given I’m pretty sure it’s illegal in some states (can’t have those pesky citizens making their own rules)

              Nope. Given how many Americans are obese as shit, believe in angels, and are obliterating public education… That’s probably a good thing.

                That explains why so many politicians from America I hear about sound like idiots obliterating literacy. But I disagree with this being good thing. Lack of national referendum gives loud idiots more power.
