> I told him what the insurance company was telling me. His first instinct was to say that the insurance company can't tell him what to charge. I told him I thought maybe they could because of his contract. He also kept mentioning the fact that we (him and I) had/have an arrangement we already agreed upon. Well, I told him I agreed to that not even knowing he was a provider with my insurance company. He's been a provider since before I met him. Our agreement was made without him telling me he was a provider.
Well done :-)
> Oh. And I paid him $90 when I left.
Unbelievable. Really.
He f*cks you over and you pay him for the priveledgeI can't help thinking that money is important to them for the same reason it is important to everyone. And there really isn't any more to it than that. Don't we show committment by turning up? Don't we show committment by taking what they have to say seriously? Don't we show committment by thinking about them during the week? Don't we show committment by doing homework tasks or whatever?
Where else in life are you fairly much solely expected to show your committment by paying a fee? Are you supposed to give your kids pocket money to show them you are committed to them? How about your spouse? How about your friends?
Would they ditch you if you couldn't express your committment with $$$?
I know they gotta live eat have money for stuff just like the rest of us. But I have to say IMO the rationale for such exhorbatant fees is just so much sh*t.
It makes me so mad.
I'm sorry
