Our youngest son was a high-risk pregnancy for Crystal that included too-many-to-count visits to the doctor and required our son to be born at UC Davis Med Center. Everything was covered and/or preapproved by our large, nationally known health insurance company. After Todd was born, the bills started rolling in.

Basically, Crystal spent 14 months fighting the insurance company over every fvcking expense. Everything was covered but they did their damndest to screw us. Crystal battled and battled and in the end we incurred no out-of-pocket expenses. But Crystal spent hundreds of hours on the phone forcing the insurance company to do what they were supposed to do.

So I'm fine with the current system....as long as I'm allowed to take matters into my own hands when they pull out their Fvck You Over stick. But, alas, i cannot. So give me a bloated universal health care system over legalized corporate piracy any day.
