General Discussion

It was hard enough to file compensation claims when I was my mom’s caregiver with insurance. Even if you get everything right, insurance companies make it as effortful as possible for you to get a refund.

I remember thinking bitterly at the time that it is probably built into their profit model that a subset of cancer patients or their caregivers would just give up. And she had very good healthcare. The mere effort of filing the claim was difficult enough.

I really hope things turn around for you herding_cats. I am so sorry to hear this.

(Instead of the kind of garbage human interest they sell, maybe non-tabloid journalism should do more by way of putting human faces like yours on to issues that are being reduced to statistics.)
