So, my boyfriend works at a place that has group benefits, they kinda suck but better than nothing. Recently, to save money, this greatly expanding company changed the benefits so that life insurance & the extended health care (dental, drugs, etc) are connected.
In order to get on my boyfriend's benefits, I had to fill out a bunch of stuff out that shouldn't matter for extended but does for life. I got declined due to “my metabolic risk factor” & therefore, I got nothing. No dental, no drug coverage, no chiropractic or massage, no vision care, etc. Apparently, I'm too fat for dental coverage. This pisses me off so much. Either have benefits or don't.
I know many don't get health coverage at all so I know this rant probably seems like a privileged person whining but I'm sick of this. My Dr isn't concerned even WITH my paternal grandfather's heart condition so why the hell is some stranger concerned about a fat chick getting her teeth cleaned? I don't even WANT life insurance I would rather save up myself, I just want to get regular teeth cleanings & an eye exam every 2 years.
