    Sorry I have been away from the board for awhile. I just moved to DC and I am still trying to get everything settled in.

    I just wanted to drop a note to say that my insurance is Paying!!! My suggestion to everyone is to never let up. They told me point blank many times that they were not going to pay, but I kept telling them that I would not stop till they did pay. I called my congress, newspaper, media everyone and told them if they did not pay that they had a story. I also let my insurance company know that i had contacted them.

    In the end, on Christmas eve I received a letter saying they were going to pay!

      I guess being you own health advocate extends to the insurace realm as well.

        That's the kind of attitude that gets things done. Very well done, my friend!

          Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
