I concur whole-heartedly. On a side note, I have a boner

Health insurance? You need it.

Oh, I have it. And it saved me about $100 total, I think. My premium was rather low. Now my mother is paying $900 a month to "insure" that I don't get farther into debt, while she herself sinks even deeper into it, simply because doctors' "reasonable and customary" evens out to about $250 an hour. That is far from reasonable and a far cry from what should be considered customary.

Welcome to my world Mr. Wheeler. And it's not the poor doctor's faults, they don't have lives.
It's the insurance company. It really fucking is and it is the most disgusting job a person could live with having.

i agree; my uncle is a phsychologist and he got a job w/ the insurance companies at one point as a phone person who made decisions about who needed to be committed and who needed which meds over the phone based soley on calls from er doctors. basically he told the doctors 99/9% of the time not to worry, that he would approve whatever they thought was good cuz really waht can he get via the phone? so he got fired for makign the company pay for too much of the problem. it pissed me off

That's absolutely horrible. I hope they either decide to cover your meds or there's a total collapse of the medical insurance system in this country and we socialize everything. Not that that would really help, I guess. But we can dream. I just hope things work out for you. And all of us, really.
