Have you seen her, have you heard?

Friday question delayed for panic. I just got a $1000 dental bill instead of the expected $100, and it looks like the office is closed on Fridays.
Feel free to ask me a question, but the only question I have right now is "WTF?"

Well, really, look at it from their point of view. What's the point of running a health insurance company if people are always going to expect you to PAY for them being sick?

Sarcasm, of course.

I am currently without any kind of medical insurance because (a) I'm unemployed; (b) I didn't keep current on my old company's COBRA plan; (c) my wife is in the middle of a legal battle involving HER health plan, thus I can't get in on it (not that I trust her health care provider any further than I can throw it, at this point); and (d) when I tried to apply for my own health insurance, I was turned down because in the previous 5 years I'd gone to an ER for chest pains, even though the ER personnel determined unequivocally that I had no cardiovascular problems.

Canadians may have their own belly-aches about their medical system, but I've yet to be convinced that it isn't better than ours.

P.S. Okay, I have a question for you: Is you am a dog?

Correction, just to be precise: They didn't determine unequivocally that I had no cardiovascular problems. What they determined unequivocally was that my chest pains weren't from a heart attack.

Now, you see, it's that sloppy lack of precision that forces me to also refuse to insure you.
(Also, I think the more appropriate question here would be Is you is or Is you ain't my baby? Or possibly What up, Dog?)
