I hope to get out on the road on Friday.

I dropped coverage for two years then got in on Obama care. <br /><br />In those two years I smashed up both legs pretty good with deep bruising. Broke a toe. Jammed a pickaroon in my leg and ripped the skin off a thumb. Never saw a Dr. for any of it.<br /><br />Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-59216047502372793122015-12-02T09:36:15.244-05:002015-12-02T09:36:15.244-05:00We have the worse medical system of the industrial...We have the worse medical system of the industrialized world.

Proof that he has had continuous coverage through my company took about 6 weeks, and now they want proof that he had continuous RX coverage. How do I prove that? Show all the receipts for 7 RX a month to show what the insurance paid?<br />But, at least I still have the company plan. It's gone up this year, too, but it could be worse.
