WELCOME HOME!

What does Aetna and a Crook have in common...




It's really funny how insurance companies work. I have a tooth that more than likely needs a root canal. My employer offers "dental insurance" through a well known "insurance" company named....you guessed it....AETNA! Let me tell you how the "benefits" work. I GET to pay them $92 dollars a month for a year ($1104) for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING before I can get ANY work on my tooth. (You know, "Pre-existing Condition). WOW! Great deal huh!?! Well, i'm not done yet. THEN, after I have waited a year and paid $1104 for absolutely nothing(and in the mean time, my tooth has decayed out of my head), I get to pay another $1500 deductible!!! YAY! THEN!!!!!! I'm not even covered in full. Yeah. I'm covered at 70%. WOW! Who thought up this amazing deal? Awesome, huh? Thank goodness for insurance, right? The more I deal with this crap, the better socialized medicine sounds. (not really, but you get my drift) Is it just me, or is this a real problem? People who don't even legally belong to this country get treated better than that! And guess what? I get to pay for THEM too!

The following is a letter (I didn't make it up, we'll maybe I did) that I got from Aetna.

Dear Mrs. Olsen,

Here is your explination of benefits:

1. You get to pay us for nothing in return.
2. After you have paid us $92 dollars a month for a year, you get to pay your $1500 deductible.
3. More than likely, after your doctor has submitted your claim, it will be rejected because we don't feel like paying - thus, we are no different than thugs but we can get away with it because our crimes are supported by the government.
4. We will also be garnishing your wages because we can.
Any questions, call 1-800-eatshit.
P.S. Your premiums will be going up 150% next year, and your coverage will be going down 50%.
YAY FOR AENTA!

Are You Smarter Than A Sunbeam?

Have you ever done or said something so ridiculously stupid that you just want to cease to exist for a bit? Well, I have, but I didn't even realize I had said something stupid until my conversation with Kaylen last night. Let me preface the following conversation with a conversation I had about a month ago with the owner of Imaging Concepts, the person I interviewed with for my job. I'm not sure how we got on the conversation, but I was telling him how I could immediately tell he was LDS when he interviewed me because of the picture of Moroni he had hanging above his desk and how I felt comfortable being in that kind of environment.
Ok, so...last night Kaylen was surfing the net and a picture popped up, which was followed by the question, "I wonder why that picture of George Washington on his knees is so popular. Even Andrew (the boss at imaging concepts) has that hanging on his wall." Not looking at the picture Kaylen had up, I said "What? Don't you mean that picture of Moroni?" Well, after taking a look at the picture, the man kneeling by the horse has a grey wig on, a hat with three corners, and a colonial styled jacket. I mean, we're talking 18th century! I was staring right at George Washington before he crossed the Delaware, not Moroni burying the brass plates.

Can anyone see my confusion......anyone?.....At all?
