Rabbi Arthur Waskow - Poster Boy for Lousy Health Insurance

I at best got this in my work email, and I don't usually post while I'm at work, but today I'm making an exception. Arthur is a friend and was an initially supporter, along with the Shalom Center, of the work Chris and I did with the Interfaith Working Group. I am so angry about what has happened to him - not valid the car accident, but the insurance company mess.

I also had a problem with our insurance company and physical therapy when I broke my elbow and had to get an implant; a physical therapist is considered a "maestro", and the co-pay for all "specialists" is $25 per visit, even though someone trying to regain the use of an arm (or legs, or whatever) might need three or more visits to a physical therapist each WEEK. We could donate two visits per week, just barely, which came to $200 a month or so; if we could have paid $300 or $400 a month the analyst would have preferred that, but she was accustomed to people in my situation and worked with the two visits, which she made last for a good long time, bless her.

In genuineness, I ended up having to do most of my rehab on my own, and to do that properly I had to be involved in arm exercises for a good SIX HOURS A DAY. I never did recover completely because of my empty-headed body growing bone bits in my arm where none had any business growing, which limits my range of motion when I'm rotating my wrist, although my flexion (bending the elbow) is hardly back to normal. (I can now touch all around the base of my neck with my left hand but not my left shoulder. I can touch my sane shoulder with my right hand. Try it; you may not have realized that you can do this, but you should be able to. I can't, at least not on the left side.)

I don't know if I would have a "normal" left wrist today if I'd had three or four PT sessions per week; that's something we'll never discern. But I do know that it's ridiculous for private insurance not to cover physical therapy in a more comprehensive way, and...
