    In a few months though I can handle a change or gap in insurance though so I’ve got a light at the end of the tunnel at least

    This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.

      Isn’t it great? I love it. The whole situation is amazing. So insurance covers this surgery, but they don’t do it directly because reasons and I had to enter a self pay agreement with the hospital. After surgery the hospital takes my money, bills insurance, insurance reimburses the hospital, then the hospital reimburses me. And if anyone says no during any of these steps I get to start suing people. I had to save a down payment on a house amount of money for something that insurance is supposed to cover, and if I have any kind of insurance changes along the way I risk being out the entire amount
