I channeled all of my energy ...

Into writing a blog. I just uploaded a few months of journal entries into a tumblr blog and thought you guys might enjoy reading since so many of you have been listening ears and sounding boards as I'm slogging through all of this ridiculous health insurance nonsense. 

Is this allowed? If it's not I'll totally have it deleted. Also please don't quote the URL since I'll remove it eventually. 

I really do think it will be helpful to have an outlet to share everything. And I have a brand new health policy nerd solution (well, quasi-solution) to our insurance coverage issue that I'll be posting more about in the next couple of days. I'm scheming. I feel better, maybe. A little bit.

Sorry if this is a Total AW, I was just so pleased with myself to finally feel some internal peace. <3

It isnt AW it is your everyday life that you and your wife have to deal with and the unfairness of a systematically biased and discriminatory institution. Thank you for sharing with us. Hugs.

I’m glad you feel comfortable sharing - I’ll be following along!

I laughed out loud at the late night regretful-parent-blog habit, mostly because i can’t believe it’s something I hadn’t thought of myself.

It’s a special type of insanity to spiral this hard. I have so many childless by choice friends who think we are nutso for even considering having a kid never mind spending all our money to get there. Oh well! Can’t help wanting it - nothing I do seems to make a difference!


You guys are my lifeline, I swear.

My new post talks about my ridiculous plan to game the health insurance marketplace to get better coverage. I'm holding my breath waiting for an answer from HR about whether this would qualify me for the health insurance buy-back the same way it would if I was on my spouse or parents' health insurance instead of ours. Usually they pay up to $400/month toward the cost of your premium AND the primary policyholder so I'm really hoping that applies here and I could use that to buy the stupid expensive marketplace policy, since I don't qualify for a subsidy obviously.

I wish you all the best in this endeavor, and mental sanity especially through the holidays!

I really, really hope that’s the answer you have been looking for, seeyalater52.
