If it's not one thing, it's another!

As if 2014 hasn't thrown me enough curve balls I got another one today.

Per normal after I picked up the kids from school I grabbed the mail and went inside. I noticed something from MN Sure (our insurance) and opened it right away. I already had to deal with such a mess even GETTING our insurance that I take this stuff EXTREMELY serious. I open the envelope and there are 3 pieces of paper. One of me, one for Kegan and one for Karie.

According to these papers we are being DISENROLLED IN OUR HEALTH INSURANCE!

I instantly started crying. None of the reasons listed even apply to us. Nothing has changed. I called the number on the sheet. Of course they give me another number to call. After waiting on hold on the second number the lady who answered said that she couldn't help me & the people I need to talk to stop taking calls at 3:30. It was 4. She said I need to call back Monday at 9:30 when they open.

I lost it after I hung up. I couldn't stop crying. What a mess! In December when we signed up for insurance it was all screwed up, per THEIR system, and it took until FEBRUARY to get it taken care of. That was after me calling and emailing every legislator and making a HUGE fuss. It was a awful. It was almost a full time job at that point. I was emailing all these people every single day. I was calling them every single day. Then when I got a hold of people it was several phone calls several times a day. Explaining the issue over and over and over again. Being pregnant and have 2 kids we couldn't live without insurance.

Oddly Kyle didn't have issue. In fact he was put on TWO different insurance policies. TWO. I couldn't get on ONE and he had two. According to the letters I got today his name wasn't even mentioned so from what I know Kyle gets to keep his but the kids & I are losing ours.

How does that even work? All the things I read said it's much harder and la de da for a grown male to get insurance and it's easy to get insurance for a pregnant women and children to get it. HA! Not in this case.

I don't even know how to feel right now. I already cried way too much at this point. Clearly that will get me no where. This is nothing I can do until Monday. It's so frustrating. I hate not being in control in these types of situations.  This is my children. Their lives.

Healthcare is so expensive! I can't afford to get on the other programs that they offer. It's either pay for healthcare or pay my mortgage. No joke. We have to buy our own health insurance because our jobs don't offer it. So it's crazy expensive even with a crappy plan. You want a decent plan, you will be giving up a kidney...from all members of your family. Then you better hope you can regrow it because you will need to give one every few months. I can't afford that. I NEED to get this insurance taken care of. If we lose it, I honestly have no idea what we are going to do. We will lose the house. There is the real deal. We will have to move in with my in-laws or something. We wouldn't be able to afford living on our own. That also comes with a birth that would cost around $10,000 for a normal vaginal delivery.

This just isn't fair. This isn't what I need. I WANT SOMETHING TO GO SMOOTHLY!!!!!!
