Why people hate insurance companies


Linda's case worker told me this morning that the insurance company wants to discontinue her physical and occupational therapy in the next few weeks. She asked me to prioritize them so we can do the most important one the longest.

This is such a load of shit. If Linda had known she would be cut off, and stayed at Rusk two weeks longer to think about it, the cost would have paid for all three outpatient therapies until the end of the year.

Asking a person whether they would rather have help learning to walk or being able to use their hands is a crock. People deserve to walk, and they deserve to be able to use their hands.
