DSHS CAN GO TO HELL!
So I applied for DSHS at the end of July and didn't get approved until September (after I hounded them multiple times a week via telephone and office visits). At the time, Josh and I were both working but we got approved, so that was that.
So it's October now and Josh wanted me to call DSHS and see if I couldn't either drop my insurance through his work altogether and get covered by DSHS alone, or sign up for Molina Basic Health (which would cost like $30/mo instead of the $400/mo he's paying now).
Good thing I called, because the lady said "you're not covered under DSHS."
And I'm like "well I have a coupon for September."
"Yeah, they made a mistake when they coded your application, which didn't include your husband's income. So they fixed the glitch and now you don't meet the income requirements."
"Uhhhhhhhh.... so I haven't actually been covered? I've given my medical coupon to my multiple doctors and now it turns out I'm not covered by you guys at ALL?"
"Nope, you'll have to re-apply. It'll take about 15 business days."
(At this point I scoff, recalling how it took a FUCKING MONTH last time. My baby is due in December, you fucks.)
So why didn't anybody call and tell me? "Oh just a heads up, you're not covered by DSHS. Our bad, we coded it wrong so haha, not covered. Must re-apply!"
Funny. Fuckers. I called Josh, freaking out. I don't want to be like this. I'm stressed to the max. Josh swore our lease was 6 months, I swore it was 12. I was right, even though I didn't wanna be. Now we have to either try to get out of the lease by November, or find another person to take over our lease. And what's more, we have to figure out a shit ton of other things by the time Jonah comes. He's gonna be here, whether we're ready or not. I'm due to start my birthing class on the 30th and it's $100 without DSHS. $100 is like two weeks worth of food! JESUS!
I'm so pissed. Why does this have to be so stressful? Everything is so stressful. The pregnancy, the medical stuff, the living situation, the cost of living, the expenses of being an adult. It's all so much. Why does it have to be this way? I just want to be happy for my baby. I want this last trimester to be happy and stress-free. I was supposed to be over the DSHS thing in my last trimester. Everything was supposed to be figured out. Now it's not and I dunno how I'm going to avoid GOING INSANE.
Sigh. God. I wish that everything could just fucking figure itself out. Then I could sit here and feel my baby move and not worry about how much money it's going to cost to cover the constant ultrasounds, lab costs, doctor visits, etc etc. I just wanna feel him move and have my ONLY thought be "that's my boy. i love my boy."
I just didn't think it would be this stressful.
