Yeah, I felt like journaling this morning and this afternoon but then I ate and had a beer and 100% forgot whatever it was.

I went for a walk and saw 3 orca whales BUT besides that I pretty much got nothing imperative/important done. Sure getting out is essential, vital, necessary as I feel my being cooped up indoors is BAAAAADDDD. Still I have so much to do and my worry is also really messing with me.

Signed up for the "free" state health insurance. They set me up with a doctor who isn't taking anymore patients of course. I was on the phone off and on for 5.5-6 hours today trying to sort out this stupid situation. It took the whole day and I still a) don't have a primary care doc and b) dont have the prescription.
The prescription is NOT Viagra and it is NOT a pain med. It's a lame chronic condition medication. And since they want to make it extra hard it requires an EXTRA authorization step. I already have a written paper prescription from a doctors office but it's not the STATE HEALTH insurance preferred provider blah blah blah...
I'm not going to lie.. at 4:45 I started screaming at the person on the phone.

Turns out the stupid insurance company CENTENE is being sued for millions of dollars in 11 states. Does not surprise me. The helpline is the runaround and it's set up that way on purpose you can tell. lol

More screaming at health insurance people today. Maybe not full screaming but definitely 100% irate and it worries me that this insurance company has all my private info like SS number etc.
I know THIS website has nothing to do with this. It's just it's pretty much what I spent my energy trying to resolve today.
Talked to SEVEN people. Was put on hold numerous times. Had to speak to a manager at two different organizations. They still can't comprehend how it's not my job to FIX their computer problems but what is really really weird is someone told me I had insurance in March since years ago which was also terminated in March. That is news to me. I haven't used any medical services whatsoever. I wonder how much that cost and how I even became insured without me knowing as I never got confirmaion of such a thing from before. More medical fraud?
On a regular basis I feel like I am losing my mind. I did try to set up insurance a long time ago but it WAS NEVER CONFIRMED and I hadn't even submitted everything they require so how did that even happen. IDK. For that entire time though I did not use any healthcare and I didn't have a membership number or card given to me. This is not interesting. I am just venting like always.
I'm very polite for 20 minutes, slightly losing patience at 30 minutes, starting to feel hateful around 40 minutes and at 45 minutes into a phone call after already speaking to numerous people I just I can't keep my cool anymore. Now that it's six business days later and nobody I've talked to even sound like they've done any research into the problem.
Anyhow. I guess this is communism.
