LOL I know...!!

I'd love to know who this idiot is. If he's so proud, why doesn't he share his name and address???

He lives in the district.. (4.00 / 1)

..Avon or Simsbury I think.  I've see him in the grocery store and at our fav sushi place.  The only reason why I'm so sure is he exudes corporatool a**hole - it drips off him..

I'd give him an earful about Anthem and their "humanitarian" tactics and exactly WHY WE DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT

I have no problems making a scene at the local market/susi joint to make a point :)

And I am a little pissed at you other video Bloggers! (4.00 / 2)

You never told me how many hours it takes to edit and process just an hour and a half of video!

Truly makes me appreciate what all of you have been doing on a regular basis and for so long even more.

That's why they need the premium increase... (4.00 / 3)

... so they can afford to get better signs made.

Would have been there (4.00 / 1)

 but it took over a month to get approval for the MRI which was needed to diagnose a spinal injection for my slipped disk.

Due to obstinacy, the insurance company first paid for several months of physical therapy (my new gym membership costs $20 a month), to conclude that I needed an injection all along.

The inability to stand for more than three minutes didn't affect their decision.  

When you mention 'MRI' to a doctor they can come up with hundreds of reasons why you can't have one right away - I sat next to a cheerleader with three herniated discs who spent months with a chiropractor.

An MRI is the first diagnostic tool for deciding on a treatment course. Epidural and spinal nerve injections are considered the next step for further localization of the involved nerve root. Wish I'd had one a month ago.

But that would have been the most cost effective, pain-free and intelligent thing to do.

I'm sure horror stories abound... (4.00 / 1)

I've probably told this story before but..

I had surgery in 2005 for a congenital condition that needed to be corrected. I had the surgery on Friday, and the doctors were in a rush to get me out so I was home Monday. Tuesday my husband picks up the phone, a 'friend' was calling so he propped the phone up under my ear.

it was Anthem demanding payment for a procedure that cost several thousand dollars. I tried to explain that I just had open heart surgery four days prior and I really could not hold the phone properly let alone talk, and the 'agent' told me yes he could see that I had just gotten out of the hospital but I needed to pay up.

WTF?? My chest had been cut open on Friday (quite literally) and these BASTARDS are hounding me about something that as it turned out had been MISCODED??

I've had problems with them  since about denials and I had to appeal more times than I can count.

Private insurance is great until you actually have to use it, and from what I can tell, Anthem is particularly suck-tacular and heartless
