Not Covered

I was under the impression that I had a Cadillac insurance plan.

Guess not.

Just spoke to a very nice lady who has the misfortune to work for Premera. She was able to inform me that Bariatric Surgery is not a covered benefit under our plan. I asked a few more questions and she told me that it isn't covered under most plans. I would guess that means Premera goes out of its way to make the coverage for this very effective procedure too expensive for the average employer to buy for their employees. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate insurance companies?

Bariatric Surgery is covered under Medicare. One more reason I say: Medicare for All!

So, no, I'm not sure of my next step. I'm sure there is one. I'm sure there is some overpriced way to cover the surgery. Someone will loan me a big wad of cash at an outrageous interest rate. I'm sure there is a next step. I just honestly allowed myself to believe that a fucking insurance company would give a crap for once. I'm a moron.

Did I mention Medicare for All? May the insurance companies die in a chemical fire, over-paid executives first!
