Angry Listen up you so called care specialists!

Yep, we are ****ed. Us, the trying to survive people with pain. We didn't ask for this situation! But thought wow I am lucky to have my company support me with this coverage now that I am disabled. My hard work and accomplishments I gave to my company have been acknowledeged with help. I gave 150% winning sales goals making my company alot of money even with the pain! I kept going, because I love my job! I hurt but got up to go to work. Now I pay the price. I have a back that is deteriating. Yep, 2 surgeries and arthritis and I am only 47. But did I call in sick nope went to work feeling lousy and even covered it up never complaining. I always smiled and gave it my best. Now I can not give any more. The disability co my co paid so dearly for wants me to keep going, so they don't have to pay! They don't care if it kills me or my last yrs of live are lived in pain. Just let them meet "their" goals....well ins co you met the wrong girl! if you are reading this, as I think you are, bring it on, I am not dead yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GO GIRL~

I'm right behind you!! This whole health care system is going to *** in a handbasket. They make me sick!!! We PAY AND PAY AND PAY, Then when we need help they turn a deaf ear.

If there's anyone reading this associated with those evil companies...I pity you!! Put your head under THESE chopping blocks(these are for all the people that get screwed)

Thanks Renee! Just needed to "vent", but I'm not done yet!God, you read all these horror stories of people being abused by the "system"! Health "Care" hmm its totally political. Enron and Worldcom got caught! but there is too many insideres that have control on the health system that its gonna take a hell of fight to get it corrected. I think it has to start in each county and go on up the scale...You would think the money hungry lawyers out there would be all over this?they are too afraid of the giants, well I'm not! It is not just disability ins it is all insurances! My dad had a stroke, his blood sugar level was 540! He ran out of "test strips" to ck his level! The ins from VA wouldn't give him any til his next appt!! This is ludicrous!!!! I need physical therapy but can't afford it on the decrease in salary with short term dis, only getting .60 of my reg pay! no other income, alone.cj

So sorry about your dad I hope he wasn't permanently disabled. 60% of your income.. the whole story stinks.

Every year my husband's insurance company raises the premium and we end up getting less and less coverage. What the BLANK is this!!!

Can you imagine your insurance premium being the same as your housepayment!! My gosh people will be going without insurance all over the place. When the hospitals have to admit all these people who's going to pay their bills?? I even might be one of these people someday.

Geez, I'm sure fighting a disability company is like taking a bone from an old dog. They just won't give it up. Even though you've fed and watered the darn dog all these years.

I live about 30 minutes from the Enron building. I have to laugh everytime I drive by. What happened to them serves em right. They deserved everything that's happened to them.

An old(meaning age wise) friend of mine contracted pneumonia. Mind you this lady is widowed, is a little over 60, has no health insurance(she can't afford it) she makes minimum wage, and the small co. she works for can't provide it. Well to make a long story short, she tried to admit herself to the hospital. The hospital told her it would be a 2 week wait, because they had no more beds for the uninsured.

She had to take care of herself at home, having no money coming in. Well, the co. she works for took up a collection to help her pay for her medicines.

So, so sad. Don't those big beaurocrats realize working, tax paying citizens need some help!!

Like you said, lawyers are afraid of them. When is this going to stop!!

Isn't there anyone around (in the big corporate world) that has any guts and can do anything to help in these type situations? Yours, your dads, my friend, and me, or anybody else that can fall through these cracks.

Not giving your dad the test strips he needed was insane! Now look what happened.

I bet the group that controls the insurance industries wouldn't let their dogs be treated like "we" the lowly working people are.

This needs to stop!!

Good luck on your quest!
