Today, I found out that the insurance that my husband signed us up with for next year doesn't cover any of our doctors. Now we need to find 4 different doctors who take our insurance. FML

Today, I found out why my husband doesn't want me to go to the doctor. It's not because of the reasonable copay. It's because he has let 3 other women use my insurance to give birth, in the last 4 years. They are all his. FML

Today, I arrived at the doctor's to schedule surgery to find out my insurance got canceled again. I only just got it reinstated after the last time they screwed up and canceled it. It took me 6 months to get it fixed. FML

I'm an excellent driver

Today, my husband ran our car into a fence at work. He had to file an insurance claim, with a company we only just got with, and it's going to deplete the rest of our taxes. FML

For profit healthcare should be abolished

Today, I’ve had to spend $300 out of my savings account for my doctor's appointment to get another 90-day supply. Health insurance is way too expensive, as I'm a student and work part time, and haven’t had luck in finding a job. How am I supposed to save for a car in the meantime? FML

Today, I woke up to the most excruciating pain in my jaw. No dentist that takes my insurance has any openings, and the one doctor I can see to get antibiotics isn’t in. FML

Healthcare for all, now

Today, I had a procedure that should have been covered by my health insurance, but while I was there, I asked the doc to sign a prescription for an unrelated thing. This apparently turned the insured procedure into a consultation, so they charged me full price for the procedure, over $15,000. FML

Today, I learned that my doctor lost all of my immunization records. I can't start law school without them. FML

Today, health insurance is supposed to take care of your health. Or that’s what I thought. Mine is currently pushing me towards suicide, by repeatedly asking for money I don’t have, for an insurance I don’t want, because they don’t pay for anything that actually helps me. FML

Today, I found out my insurance company denied my claim because they had me marked down as "male" and yet also pregnant. I now have to prove to them that I'm actually a woman. FML

That's Insurance 101: Always check the provider list. Did you not discuss your options beforehand? That's something that affects both of you (and any children you might have) so both of you need to be actively involved.

Nope! Never let husbands make all of these decisions on their own ?

Or... Since your insurance hasn't commenced yet... you could go with a different insurer.

Ugh thats frustrating. Good luck? Just do a lot of research because a lot of doctors (even specialized) don't always know everything about that speciality. I know this all too well.

Maybe it wasn't his fault. Obamacare is such a wonderful disaster that he may have only had one option.

Same situation here. I have a couple of doctors I WILL NOT change (one I have been seeing for 26 years) , and they aren't in any of the options I was given. I will just have to save for visits with them and pay cash. Damn shame.

Sadly thats what happens with Obamacare. We've had amazing and expensive coverage for two years via Humana and the Obamacare marketplace. For 2017 Humana is no longer offering plans in our state. We have basically two choices of Obamacare policies for 2017, one that provides similar Sadly but none of the same doctors (or hospital actually), or we can get same providers from a different company, but have to pay almost 5 times the amount (premiums + max out of pocket). Calling agents there are no options for us other than marketplace policies.

I've been through this. Make sure you start each call to potential new doctors with, "Are you accepting new patients?" This will save you a LOT of time.
