Unjust Health System Makes me MAD!

Hello My friends! I was hoping you would lend me your ear because I have something I would really like to get off my chest.My oldest daughter was due for booster shots.I made her an appointment with our family physician.We have Blue Cross Blue shield Insurance on our girls.We dropped mine a couple of months ago ,we couldn't afford to keep it up any longer.They tried to double our rates on me from 200.00 to 400.00 a month.I haven't had any claims or anything so I was pretty upset.Well long story short we had no choice but to cancel it all together,my husbands and my sales are down it has already been a struggle to stay a float.Anyways I took my daughter in yesterday thinking 30.00 co-payment and she would be good to go,but of course it wasn't so easy.They had me call and see if the shots would be covered.This is the part where I got really upset.If you have insurance the shots were about $180.00 each plus doctors office charge over $500.00 for the two shots.Yes that's right $500.00.I was shocked, angry and confused.We pay over $200.00 a month for insurance on them for over ten years we have never filed a claim.The insurance said they would only pay 300.00.It turns out if you don't have insurance they can do a state Shots across Texas for $14.00 a shot plus Dr's visit. So of course I filled out the appropriate paperwork and after three hours at the doctors office Angela was given her shots.I learned that you are better off telling them you don't have insurance you get off a lot cheaper.I think this is shameful,disgusting down right WRONG. I am not sure how our society has gotten so messed up.I am not sure that there is anything I can do about it, but When it comes time to vote I will definitely pay attention to these issues.Mean while  I will pray that our unjust health system will get an overhaul it well deserves,and I do not get sick worrying about it because I can't afford to go to the doctor.Thanks for lending your ear.I do feel a little better now.I would love to no how you feel about this.

I will absolutely work harder at it this session.I had the last couple of days off.I have been doing housework and paperwork and of course more housework.When I was changing my daughter's bed I found a huge scorpion. I killed it ,no I don't feel guilty I wouldn't have been able to sleep knowing it was in my house .I had no desire to capture it either.My girls are so curious so I let them look them up and they found this article that makes me want to give up our Texas Parks and Wildlife pass.To all my friends that want to come visit me bring a torch for your own safety.LOL

Texas Caver Catches 65 lb Scorpion!
The Associated Press Jun 24 2000 9:48PM ET

Western, Texas (AP) - Local Caver Bill Bentley caught an unbelievable 65 pound Scorpion during a camping trip and was captured on film by a friend with a digital camera! Experts believe that this is the largest Scorpion ever caught by man on record. "Top Scientists will want to study it". said Texas Parks & Wildlife Ranger Lars Wilthorp in an interview on Saturday.
``This is one biggest finds of the century!'' was the word heard in the small West Texas town of Notrees, Texas where the huge Scorpion was caught. Mr. Bentley will have it stuffed and mounted and available for display soon. "This will make a nice addition to my collection" said Bentley in an interview with reporters shortly after the catch. Mr. Bentley has a the only stuffed and mounted Jackalope and 9 foot high Roadrunner in his unique collection.
It is not known if there are any more giant Scorpions in the area, but they have been known to travel in packs of 3 to 4.
