THE HEALTH CARE BLACK HOLE

Isn’t this special, I thought life was good because I had my transplant postponed until Oct. 1. What happens on Oct. 1? I’ve been disabled for two full years according to the federal government, which entitles me to Medicare Part A and B for a small fee taken directly from social security. These will cover the entirety of my costs for my immunosuppressive drugs.
What’s the problem? My regular insurance company knows. Yes, Highmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield has sent me a benefits questionnaire forcing me to confess my new “windfall,” because they won’t cover a cost that medicare will.
Unfortunately, medicare won’t cover a cost that highmark will. Do you think the two will be battling out this problem between each other? No, they’re going to force it on the middle patient.
I see the health care black hole I’m about to be sucked into. The astrophysicists and first world countries can spend billions of man hours and money on creating a real black hole that will exist a nanosecond, just to see what will happen, but they can’t drag me out of my predicament.
It’s not about the money. I have Aunt B who organizes and fights my bills for me as a hobby. It’s the situation. It’s the principle. I can’t clone Aunt B to be a patient advocate for everybody in my situation. I can’t how wrong this is.
