Dilemma where to go from here?

Well, it is Friday and nearly 6 P.M. here and still no call back from the doctor. You would think by now with two initial calls, one with her receptionist and one with her service I would have heard something. I am very disappointed.
I guess I will try one more time on Monday, and then I don't know what to do.

This begs the question for the public, what good is health insurance with soaring premiums that only are a partial payment when it is a fact that you hear people losing everything (such as their homes) due to horrendous lethal ailments that are not fully covered by their insurance anyway? What good is it, really? The news is rampant with parents who have health insurance that are gainfully employed but they still have to raise monies for their child’s organ transplants, and they do have health insurance, what’s wrong with this picture? It’s wrong and obscene in my opinion. Should this be the case with us living in one of the richest countries in the world, and that’s in spite of our economy, we are still a very wealthy country!
Even when we were covered by health insurance it was an 80% /20% split, us having the mere 20%, which when I needed six months of physical therapy at that time even our out of pocket expenses were several thousands of extra dollars. This idea of our health insurance program stinks if you don't mind me saying. We do need a reworking of our system from nothing less than a logical standpoint. I know that our leader- in-chief is trying very hard to make a standardized government program, but we need all health programs to work for all people. I wish I was smarter to come up with the answer it is definitely a frustrating situation, brain fodder.

Last night I got a lovely call that I ruined with my blurting out my aggravation at that moment with trying to resolve my problem with straightening out my frustration of my bill with the doctor’s office, poor dear heart attack/retired teacher survivor cousin called to invite us out to dinner on Sunday, boy did I give him an earful! I went on and on so much he offered to treat us to that dinner, and I said no we will go Dutch. You see it is his wife’s birthday Sunday and mine is next Wednesday so it would be lovely to celebrate together and besides a friend of theirs will be the entertainment (sounds mysterious and intriguing) and the restaurant that we haven’t been to in a few years. It had burned down and then been rebuilt, a lovely place on the water and not too dear in price either, and so I said yes.
Since my cousin is also a magician, I wonder if his friend is too should be interesting.
And to be honest I am getting cabin fever; it has been over a week since I left these digs, at least I think so.

On that positive note I will wish you all good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
