When my wife signed us up for health care through the state she was off by one day on my birthday. For the last year my life has been an absolute nightmare of people saying they fixed it but (surprise!) they didn't, getting insurance reimbursements & referrals bounced bc of the wrong date, having to spend hours on the phone trying to get it corrected so I'm not billed full amt at every single provider (surprise! It's never fixed!)

US health care makes Kafka's bureaucracies look simple & easy

@AbandonedAmerica Ugh. Once one of my health care providers wrote the date on my chart in the European style (day first, then month) and my health insurance company decided to pretend this meant my condition was pre-existing, and they refused to cover anything from that point on. It took 9 months to get them to cover the surgery that had already taken place. I'm still bitter.

@NoTwit and I'm totally sure they didn't make it that difficult because they could save money doing so. No sir 🙄
