more insurance rants...

Since I've been ranting on and on about my insurance woes for two days, let's make it three. I still haven't figured out how to get my money back from the ins. co. for the bcp, but I am working on it...I may end up filing a grievance if they refuse to process a retroactive approval. Anyway, as I was browsing the coverage booklet for what things are and are not covered by our insurance, I found a page outlining various procedures that says "Assisted Fertilization Procedures - Not Covered"...and right below that, it says "Elective Abortions - 100% covered" - I almost fell out of my chair and cried...they will let us kill babies on their dime, but not make them...modern medicine at its finest, I tell you...This is one of those times that I wish G worked for a regular corporation instead of a school...with a regular corporation, you could just go to HR to lobby for IF coverage, but with a school district, everything would have to be taken up with a union rep...and convincing that person that IF coverage is something worthy of being added to a contract (when there's a possibility of going on strike if the teachers & district can't agree on which concessions to make) is nearly impossible...

Ok, I promise (maybe) that this is the last insurance rant for a while...
