Today untold millions of people in the US go about life with out ever once thinking about what if my life changed suddenly? What would I do? And, yet everyday people affected by a life changing event...

Well, I am not going to whine about the broken health care system in the US, all to often people with great ideas can not make them work. For any number of reasons, from big business to special interest groups... Everyone has something to say about every aspect if it means a change from what is used now. And, I agree what is used now is broken, but not so much that we can not also learn where, how and what needs to be done to make it work as it was designed to work, without ever once changing a single thing. Other, than what we know.

Medical Insurance Industry (MII) - Has things set up the way they do now to make it a long process for members to trudge through. Laws like ERISA designed to confuse, and hide the fact that it is more protection for the insurance industry, than it is for you or I. And, the MII knows every possible loophole to take the most advantage of us.

The funny thing, is that this is the case in all other aspects of our lives as well. And, what is taken advantage of is the lack of understanding, the knowledge we have rights in areas we mostly never even knew about. For the most part a good 98% or more of the general public are even aware of these. Now, what are the chances that a layperson could slowly over time from the school of hard-knocks learn and actually grasp these separate yet intertwined chunks of knowledge?

Well when I was 25 years old, life would change for me, and I would need to fight, and teach myself many things in order to be able to keep on going... No one else would offer, and even the employees of the NY State Unemployment office strongly suggested my wife and I divorce and still life in the same home... So I could get vocational job retraining, some food stamps, and other help as needed... Not for me.

And, life would lead me through all of these areas that no single college could ever hope to cover... And, before you knew it, I was where I am today...

Where is that? Well not being forced into feeling shamed into isolation due to being fully disabled. Let, me tell you now.

And, what was broken to million of others, and can not be changed or fixed... The fact that the insurance company Aetna attempted to abuse the fact it assumed I lacked the same level or more knowledge than it had about the entire health care system...

Let's just say that 12/07 my pre-determination packet was denied, my rights to know information, also denied, and my personal appeal denied... That was it, time to employ my ideas, and methods....
On 4-25-08 Contact Aetna, and by 4-30-08 I was approved proper Durable Medical Equipment... As prescribed.

And, now Am am seeking the means to expand and share this knowledge...
