But it is really good coverage, so I know that if I need something it will be covered (i.e. covers Provigil when other plans doesn't). And it also covers my ex-husband and 2 kids. It seems a little better when you are covering more than one person.

> I watch my friend who has no insurance. She should have gone into the hospital last night. But the only hospital that would take her is not a place she wants to be. So she decided that she would work really hard and promise not to do anything "bad" (rather than go to the bad hospital). She did well, slept the whole night and seems better today than yesterday. Not having insurance makes hard choices harder.
I only work three nights per week at a local restaurant. and it take it all out ofme. let me tell you.
sorry to hear about your friend. life in america is sooooo cozy and wonderfully supportive wouldn't you agree? don't you love living here?
just for being human you have to be super human here otherwise you drown and are considered "unfit". I wonder how long this archaic age will last. We're adults who missed the important growing pains of childhood in usa. We haven't a clue with healthcare and so forth. not to mention how archaic this period is when we look back, say 100yrs in mental health? and shake our heads in wonderment on how ignorant all this "trial and error" in the psych med world it is! when all we needed was that simple little test! I feel like a real 21st.century guinea pig in the mental health field! to top off the experimental era of capitalism, known in USA in that has and will last for a few high centuries. "cut-throat".
