To be a freelancer...

I’m a bit out of sorts this morning. My application for private healthcare insurance got denied, because I was honest (too honest as a couple of friends have suggested) about my history and previous accident-related injuries. It turned out that I was above the allowed points for Regence-who, by the way, has been my insurance provider for the last 3-4 years.

I’m sort of at a loss about what to do. I can appeal with a secondary application for the plan I want. I can try for a plan that does not have as comprehensive of coverage.

The plan through Bastyr that's either $40 a quarter or a year (I can't remember) is now looking very good, although it does not cover anything outside of the Natural Health Clinic. The clinic offers everything from acupuncture and naturopathy to traditional hydrotherapy treatments and massage.

And although I complained about the price, I'm very thankful that I got to keep Corbra as long as I did.
