That Blasted Insurance

The hunt for insurance is progressing. I had help from an elder at church who has also been uninsurable (What a silly word! As if anyone is "insurable"), and we're grateful because he directed us towards an exceptionally helpful agent. We are applying to the Missouri Pool which it turns out is Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield High Risk insurance. Expensive with a large deductible, but it will give us some protection from major disaster. Every time I look at the requirements I find another document that I have to dig up so we are waiting on those to come through to finish the application process. I technically have until December 2 to get the application in the mail, but I'd be more comfortable doing it sooner. It turns out that I might be able to keep my doctors or some of them.

It looks like the insurance won't be active until January first so we decided to postpone my check up at the oncologist until January when the cost will be credited to the deductible instead of being tossed into the wind. As such, I won't have any blood counts etc. to report until January.

Thanks for your unflagging concern for my well being!
