What Annoyed You Today?

[special ed]

My Medicare experience is less than great. In March 2016 I had both knees replaced. I had to pay the Medicare portion because they refused. I figured, I'm retired , I have time to fight this. At first they claimed they had paid. I proved they were saying the pre-op visit was the whole thing, $97. Then they claimed the hospital didn't file within the one year deadline. The hospital records show they filed May of 2016 electronically and received confirmation from Medicare. After appeals, which were ignored, I paid so the hospital would not send the bill to a collection agency. Basically, if Medicare doesn't want to pay they won't. If the country ever goes to single payer govt coverage, we are finished.

Yes, we never got a coherent explanation of why Medicare would not pay $800 for my Mom's last ER visit.

My personal opinion is the personnel at Medicare are "make work" welfare. I had one tell me when I questioned why a portion of the blood test was refused, "We don't allow tests to rule out anything."

Thing is, they're only "reading " back what they are instructed to. They stopped listening to what they say long ago.

-This was actually a couple of days ago and in California but near the Nevada border. Highway 50 is the alternate to using I-80 from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe/Reno/Carson City.

Let's play "Guess which one is the supervisor".

Couple of hoe rams and they could be ready for the asphalt crew a few hours later..

Can I have that rock to stop people from cutting across my yard?

 

[SaparotRob]

Preaching to the choir.

Petrol prices here up to €2.50 per litre. Insane.

I recently cancelled service with a company with which I had an automatic billing agreement. They mailed me a "final bill", which I dutifully paid. Then they debited my account, and cashed the check. They were very apologetic, and will refund me the overcharge. I should see a check in the next three weeks. I'm so mad, if I hadn't already done so, I would cancel my service!

What caused the rockfall?

Gravity.

 

[SaparotRob]

I never would have thought of that.

 

[MIflyer]

You know a rock like that sort of makes signs saying "Watch for Falling Rocks" rather absurd.

 

[SaparotRob]

But it does state the point emphatically.

Get forms from the Better Business Bureau and from the State Public Utilities commissioner. If they want to keep their business licenses, they need to have no unresolved complaints. At least, here.

 

[Greg Boeser]

Well, in theory they have resolved my complaint. It's just going to take up to three weeks to get my money back.
