Health Insurance, Or The Lack Of

Ok, I’m going to complain about the lack of health insurance some more, only because it affects me so much. My current employer that bought the business almost three years ago did not deem it was important for his 50+ year old family man to retain the health insurance instated by the previous owner. I hurt my back in March, which would have been avoided it I could have gone to a doctor and had my pain analyzed. Out of work for a month, on workman’s comp, went back for a month on four hour days, now I am on six hour days. Wonderful. All covered by WC which I am grateful for. I have had carpel tunnel in my left hand for over a year. I wear a brace at night and it alleviates the problem so I suck it up and keep on. Now I am getting it in my other hand. That means another brace. If I had the insurance I could go get the operation in a day and be set for the rest of my life, but no. My wife is experiencing problems with her leg now and needs to have her knee worked on, but no. She is also getting an allergic reaction to something around our property but we cannot figure it out.

All of these things and more could be taken care of with a simple health plan. Luckily we have a Healthy Kids plan for out children so they are taken care of. At what point does my health seem important to this idiot? When it affects his business I suppose.

Our best friend passed away basically because he did not have health insurance. I never thought I would have to worry about succumbing to the same fate.
