A Delightful Mess

I tried coming up with all sorts of clever names for this but none of them have done my situation the slightest bit of justice. To make a long story short I have been out or work due to a work related knee injury since late March and even though all my other knee injuries have all been work related this current one isn't counted as a workers comp issue because the aggravation technically happened off the job site even though I had problems even before that incident. I had to apply for state disability whichmuch of a pain in the ass as going through the workers comp process is a vacation compared to that. Fast forward a few months down the line and I get 2 letters from my union one of them telling me that I have lost my insurance because I didn't follow this process that

 

 

NOBODY FUCKING TOLD ME ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Apparently this process involves a certain way I have to notify my union whenever I go out of leave which is so insanely complicated that it would take writing a goddamn novel to explain it. This letter told me that I need to get all my state disability statements together, my letter from the company I work for acnkowledging that I am out of work along with a few other papers. I accidentally threw out some of those statements so I printed out this bank statement proving that I am getting said payments but apprently that wasn't good enough for them. So I call state disabilty and they tell me I can print this stuff out so I try to get into my account and I can't remember my password or the answer to the security quesiton so I get locked out becuase I tried to log in too many times. So I have to wait for a little longer to check back and hope to God, Zeus, Baal and maybe even Satan for good measure that I can figure out how to get into my account or otherwise I have to go over to the state disability office to get them to print the stuff out for me.

 

Which bring me to the other letter which told me to apply for COBRA which only costs me an arm a leg and sacrificing my future first born child to the devil, no big deal really it is just another day at the office for these bottom feeding filth. Parasites need to eat too after all. The good news is that since the doctor will most likely release me back to work on Monday I probably won't need to apply for COBRA, the bad news is that even after this stuff is all sorted out that because the insurance company is two months behind if something else happens to me within the next two months after I return to work than there is a good chance that I am going to get screwed harder than a prison snitch in a shower stall.

Dude... I wish I lived near you so I could come over and give you a pat on the back.

 

You don't deserve to go through all this bullshit.

Nobody does, but a lot of people suffer through it. At least for me this is temporary, there are people who have to put up with this crap permanently. My dialysis patient Dad was forced to give up his life insurance so he keep his Medicaid which was paying for his dialysis which was keeping him alive. He would have had to pay $600 a month if he kept his life insurance, and meanwhile the big banks keep getting bailed out and corporations get all these kickbacks.
