clearaflagrantj 05/16/19 1:40:07 PM #1:	Basically the tube connecting the outer ear and inner ear doesn't work properly so it always feels clogged and I can always pop it as if I'm on an airplane. Whenever I pop it the pressure comes right back immediately. The procedure to get it fixed is not covered by insurance at all, and it's $4,000. I fucking hate this joke of a country. Health vs financial security should not be something human beings even need to consider. <cite>clearaflagrantj posted [p:921976999] in So my ear ...

Since, you know, having a high-deductible plan that's how it works. Also it should allow you to put pre-tax funds into an HSA. It's not covered at all. Who is your insurance provider? I assume it's a myringotomy which looks like its covered by basically every company and on a high deductible plan you would have to pay a few thousand $$$ anyway even if they do cover it. --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. <cite>SK8T3R215 posted [p:921978917] in So my ear ...

After they denied it they asked if I wanted to seek other options, I said no it's cheaper to just go buy painkillers on the street. My back has hurt for 6 years. It's not quite as bad now but the pain was almost enough that I wanted to just kill myself. That's obviously what health insurance companies want too. I will not put up with it for another 40+ years though. --- ~A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men ~ TWSSted since~ 3/27/12 https://imgur.com/zlaENmx <cite>Trigg3rH4ppy posted [p:921979196] in So my ear ...
