Ugh

I need to vent about insurance, or organized fraud, as Jeff calls it. Our wonderful insurance decided to up our deductible to $3000 this year. Great. And our daughter has decided to have some of the worst ear issues that our ENT has seen. So now he's going to get aggressive with treatment. This year. Not last year when our deductible was lower and closer to being met. Adnoids, tonsils, and new tubes are the prescription along with a double dose of Augmetin and ear drops. I think we'll stick with just the latter. The $3000 surgery will have to wait until we have better insurance. Pray for Jenna. And for us as we are NOT sleeping. There. I've vented. Now, anyone have any suggestions for better insurance?!

Sorry to hear about that her ear problems are still an issue. I was hopeful things has settled down.

I don't have suggestions for better insurance. Our deductible is $3500. We chose higher as Andy is self-employed and we don't need to go to the doctor, etc too much. It does mean that the doctor and dentist visits are mostly out of pocket.

Bummer your coverage isn't better.

Sorry to hear that the ear issues continue. No fun for anyone! Come to Minnesota. HOM has better insurance, I think. We use mine through the County. It's expensive but good.
