I'd rather not say for the moment, but I will pm you when I get the chance, but don't think my situation is unique. I sat in waiting rooms with other folks going through similar situations.

You wouldn't believe the number of ways an insurance company can deny claims. I could write a book. And every time you get a treatment or anything remotely significant, you sign a paper saying that you are personally responsible for the bill, so when the insurance company balks, you not only have to worry about your cancer, you have to worry about your financial siuation, as well.

If Republicans don't do something, we're going to get government health care. People are fed up. I am.

We've been paying into group healthcare for almost two decades, but when I needed it, I had to fight for every single claim. And since our group policy is with a fairly small company, the entire company has had their premiums go up substantially.

So, now, I worry about my husband losing his job because we had the most claims on insurance last year. Thank God he's an excellent employee.

This is no way to live.

That should be “over two decades.” About twenty-six or twenty-seven years. Time flies. :)
