Since October 1, 2013 I've been going back and forth with my health insurance, the Obamacare Healthcare Marketplace debacle. I thought I was all set to have my new insurance in place on Jan. 1st, then I get a call from my Horizon Insurance agent this afternoon. Long story short, what I thought was done was not done. I completely lost it, colorful language, tears, yelling...the whole nine. No, I am not proud of my outburst because it is so out of character for me. I'm the ultimate professional at all times and I always seem to smile through my pain, disappointment, anger, etc., but today was NOT the day! I feel like I ALWAYS do things the right way, by the book and I always get screwed:( I have 4 doctors appointments this week which will have me all done with my pre-op appointments, AND I AM DETERMINED TO NOT LET ANYTHING OR ANYONE GET IN MY WAY OF BEING SLEEVED, PERIOD! Of course, I apologized to the person on the other end of the phone, as I felt very embarrassed about how I behaved, and we even laughed about it (she said she's heard every curse word ever said today because it's so close to the Jan. 1st deadline). I made a few phone calls and it will be resolved by tomorrow morning (my new insurance will be processed and I will make the premium payment in time for the Jan. 1st effective date). Now, as I get closer to being sleeved, I realize how really, really important all of this is to me.

Hang in there, its truly a process but your persistence will prevail!

Insurance is enough to drive one BONKERS!! Glad I don;t work for them LOL! Good luck!

Hang in there and keep working hard - even if it is with the crappy insurance industry!

2014 is going to be your year! You got this.
