hm. in my absence, i did get a letter from nys of health. but it wasn’t my insurance card, which i need in order to make an appointment.
no, it was a letter informing me that the health insurance plan i selected does not include reproductive health care, family planning, or maternity coverage. i was not aware it was legal to offer such a plan, so i didn’t scan the fine print to find out. i am not allowed to change my plan until i re-apply next year. but, they said helpfully, Planned Parenthood is cheap, here’s the one near you.
Well, isn’t that fascinating.
As it happens, I don’t need much by way of reproductive care, but. Really.
However. “All you need is your insurance card to make an appointment,” the letter concluded cheerfully.
The insurance card I applied for in February. The insurance card I was eligible for in April. The insurance card I was supposed to be able to use in June.
The insurance card they’ve never sent me.
Fascinating.
