who's got health insurance?
that's right, bitches. yours truly.
they stalled and strung me along for months, but now i have those plastic cards with my name ons.
not that i entirely know what it means. they sent the cards, and a short list of covered medications (birth control, bitches!) and notices of privacy practices, but no information about whether i can use them at the dentist's (let's assume no) or if there are only certain doctors i can go to. i've never had my very own health insurance before.
now that i have it, what next? who knows how to find a doctor? i don't terribly want to find one in bed-stuy, but is it worth trekking to manhattan every time i get sick? do i stick with the clinic where i've been going? there's a certain convenience factor there in that they have doctors, ob-gyn, dentist, optician, and radiology all rolled into one building, but there's an inconvenience factor in that they're located in alphabet city and when i went for my physical i was stuck there for four hours. that was four hours of sitting in a waiting room listening to babies crying.
well, the most important thing is that if i slip on the stairs or my appendix bursts i won't be in debt for the rest of my life. we'll sort out the little details okay.
