Thank you
To all who are helping me: I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
I really do appreciate what you all are doing for me, it is keeping my much needed Physical Therapy, Myofascial Release, Electro stem, and Chiropractic therapy going. THANK YOU!
I did have a Lipoma removed on 1/31/05, Monday. It was on the front of my right shoulder, on the top, and I’d felt like the hunchback of Notre Dame for a year. They did a biopsy, but I’m confident it’s benign. I now have two normal looking shoulders, and I am relieved for this small thing, it means much to me to at least look normal.
Why there is a current problem: COBRA is $970 per month. THAT'S why I'm in such a predicament. My friend has a company with a group insurance plan, same Cigna ins, but it was knocked down to only $900, with too many questions.
Cameron and I are both unemployed, the economy is in bad shape out here. He's been unemployed since October, but they gave him generous parting benefits. We didn't realize how hefty COBRA would be, because we were paying only $75 per month out of pocket, while he was employed.
As for me being insurable, the whole issue is the Fibromyalgia. I have been hunting for other insurance the whole month of January, and have discovered it's only covered currently under GROUP insurance, PERIOD. That means I have to use my dba, "Azrael Studios" and may have to incorporate it, just to have decent insurance costs per month. I am now comparing Blue Cross to Cigna. Fibromaylgia is a Chronic Illness like Asthma, which I also have; they MUST cover it, but can charge through the nose for it.
I did send in an envelope full of stuff to fight for my unemployment, in appeals. Maybe I will win.
