I am not advocating for socialized medicine. It would not solve all of our problems and it would not solve any of them without creating new ones.
But it is such a pain. Husband's company changes health care plans every year because of cost so we have to re-do all of our paperwork with doctors every January. This year, because I'd just found a fertility dr. that I really love I held my breath, hoping that he would still be covered in the new plan. Not listed in the provider book but my old dr. (the one I hated) was listed as covered. I became suspicious of the book because that dr. retired two years ago. A call to customer service confirmed that the new dr. IS now covered, their book is just WAY outdated. Ok, dr. is covered. What about treatments? Fortunately my surgery is still covered.
But honestly, why does it have to be this difficult. Why can't all insurances cover all doctors? Not to mention our ever increasing co-pays and premiums. As if being broken isn't frustrating enough!
Oh, and I will need to reschedule the surgery because Husband is taking me out of town when I was going to have it done. Best case scenario, it will only set me back three days, worst case scenario, a month. What's one more month on top of 6+ years, though. It had better be a good trip, is all I'm saying.

perhaps he's hoping to get you good and knocked up before the surgery is necessary?
remind me when the surgery is again?
Only that socialised medicine has massive waiting lists ... one of the big reasons Noelle is still in the UK. She has an appointment at the fertility clinic on the 22nd or 25th, I forget which (we're not telling them the reason she isn't pregnant this month is because I am 10,000 plus miles away!)
Coops, I was going to say that you're usually necessary for fertility exams...I'm just saying. Also this trip will kick ass. and not just like a poor little white boys ass, we're talking pan across the asses of obese Americans on the nightly news ass.
And once again I realize that my in-laws read this blog...crap. I just fell a couple rungs down the "son-in-law" totem pole didn't I?
Ahhh ... but you aren't up to date on that! I have had all my tests; and after all these years of blaming me (while I am still not as fertile as I could be) ... it actually turns out to be Noelle that is the problem (or that has a more seriously broken part) not me, so she is the one needing the treatment not me. More on that whole story another time ...
Well good luck to Noelle then
