Bad news today

[ssms5411]

So I new my Mom was going in for a aniogram or something like that were they go up through the grown with a Camara to check out her heart since sh had a hard time breathing sometimes and starts coughing alot for air. Had a scan that showeda spot on her heart. So they went in this morning at 5am, mt Dad called me at 1pm and said they had to admit her because the camara showed 5 arteries that were colasped going to the heart the have to be replaced or reparied or something like that I forget. Son of a B!tches would not admit her or do anything else unless my Dad put $2500 up front becuase they said his insurance would only cover so much, and to top it off they said if she had a problem where they had to go in right away he needed to show he had $25,000 on hand for the surgery. ****ing B@stards, so I transfered $10,000 I had to his account and my other 2 brothers transfered 10,000 as well to cover anymore extra expensess that could come up. I hate the F'n hospitals, they told him if he didn't pay they wouldn't even find her a bed and just release her. They can't get access because my parents own their home which disquaifies them , what a F'n joke , if it was a illegal over the border they would have everything covered, just pisses me off, my Dad and Mom worked their @sses off for 40 years to pay off their house and this is what they get in return, my Mom is 59 so she is not elibale for retirenment for 3 more years, I hope after she recovers so she can get SSD and then pick up Medicare, My Dad pays $800 a month for insurance and they do that to him, I'm just really pissed , sorry for my rant. Please pray for my Mom, she is a great woman, she helped me so much when I had my stroke and back problems. She also took care of her Mom for 4 years at her home so she wouldn't be in a nursing home before she died in my Moms arms 3 years ago. I'm just trying to hang on right now, and hold up and its tough though. Thanks Steve

Re: Bad news today

Hey Steve, what kind of insurance do they have right now?

That sounds like a horrible insurance.

I'm so sorry for that bad news. I hope your mom makes it OK. We'll keep her in our prayers.

Re: Bad news today

I guess there going to do the surgery on Tues. , Thor they have a Cigna plan which sucks, the plan they have. I have Cigna but my plan pays 100 % , but the plan I had before sucked like a 80/20 with max. of 5000 out of pocket or something like that, I'm glad I got this one before I went on LTD. My Dads is through GM ,so whatver plan he had when he retired. But it looks like it sucks pretty bad. With this surgery I just hope my mom can get SSD so she can relax she's coming up on 60 and thats alot of arteries to be to be bypassed. Even if my Dad needed the whole amount I would of gave him the money myself if need be. Then sued the DR.'s that let this go for 10 years. Thanks guys for your respsones.

Re: Bad news today

So they let my Mom come home today and has to go back on Tues. for the 5 bypasses on her heart, which she said they had to map out where they are going to take the good veins from and use them for the bypass which will be from her legs. They said she was very lucky she didn't have a heart attack before now. They will be calling Mon. she said to let her know what the bill is going to be, MOTHER F@CKERS. I'm so pissed they would do that, just the bill alone will probably give her a heart attack. What if it was a emergency , they would let her die unless someone paid. This is bullsh!t, f@ck the blood sucking insurance companies and hospitals they are all pieces of sh!t. That is all , I give you guys a update when she is out of the hospital and doing well. Thanks again for your posts and prayers, Steve

Re: Bad news today

Hey man, I'm not on here a lot or well, I'm on here some what, from time to time, but I just don't post a lot. I will keep your mom and your family in my thoughts in prayers. I agree with you 100% with he hospital stuff. My little brother passed away in a car wreck back in 2007, and in just a few days the hospital sent my dad a bill, saying that it needed to be paid. They didn't even give us time to take in what had happened. They wanted their money, and that is all they cared about. I could see them sending a bill about a month after. I mean, for the love give people time to reflect and grieve over a loss.

The US has become a country of greed and corruption, and sadly your correct on the illegal immigrant stuff, someone like that or some that has learned how to use the system, would be taken in no problem, and our tax dollars would be footing the bill, even though they have not paid a single cent of tax. I could go on an on about the crap that goes on, but in the end there is little I can do. I just look at it like this.

Let those that feed on money, greed, corruption, and power. Let those live their lives with that they have stolen or taken away from others, so they can feed their greedy needs. Let them live it up here in this short time we spend living. I will take what GOD gives me, which may not be much, but at least I have gotten it honest and worked for it, and be fair and respect others, because I look forward to the eternal life that waits ahead. For those that feeds their greed by taking from others, they may live a great life here on earth, but what awaits ahead for them.... I will not be one to judge them, but I will take my chances with love, respect and honesty.

Just keep your faith in GOD and trust in his decision, and know that many prayers and thoughts will be sent your mothers and your family's way. I still have a hard time understanding why GOD took my younger brother away, but I cannot go against GOD's decision. I'm sure GOD had a good reason, I'll never understand it. That will probably be the first question I ask him if I get the chance. But one thing is for certain, when losing my little brother, I lost not only a brother, but my best friend, and in that, it's changed my look on life and opened my eyes to what is going on in this world and what is truly important.

I'm sorry for the continue rambling, but for those few that have seen me on here over the years, and have not seen me much in the past few years, now you know why.

I hope that some where in all that I have said, will be some comfort and for you to know, that my prayers and thoughts will be with your mother and you and your family.

GOD be with us all,
Jeff

Re: Bad news today

^ Thanks, sorry to hear about your brother. That is really sad and I hate hospitals/insurance companies for making money off of good people. They now want to do the surgery on Wed./Thurs because they want my mom and dad to come in first to go over the bill on want they have to pay before they do the surgery and go over the rehab and what happens later on down the road. The big deal is my mom is also diabetic, so she has to watch that also. So we should know when the surgery is going to be, I hope tomorrrow after they go into PT. services. Thanks for all your prayers, Steve
