last Thursday I was supposed to get a call from Medicaid to have my phone interview. Obviously this is a difficult enough situation for me to have to even apply for this type of assistance, but due to no hospitalization insurance and having to give up my full time gig for now, I had no choice. And like everyone says.. I have paid into it for all of these years, so why not.
So they never called.. Thursday was not a good day for me pain wise and them blowing me off did not help. It took me until Tuesday to get someone on the phone and they tell me that there was NO attempt made by my case worker, but I was missing a pay stub, they would send a message and I should hear something in 48 hours, so I faxed in the missing pay stub (from my part time job) and waited my 48 hours.. nothing. I called back today and of course nothing is showing in the system still. So another message has been sent.
In the mean time... I have to pre-register for my surgery on Tuesday and unless the government changes the way its people communicate I am feeling pretty screwed right now. It takes 45 days to process all of this and I started back in September and am still waiting. This makes the fact that I worked two jobs, neither of which offered health benefits, and this person with a State job has this type of control over my situation no less frustrating. Especially at a time when I have so many other things to be worrying about...like oh maybe my health and my surgery! Ugh.....................
