Just wow.

So, I went to the doctor to see about a few things. I had three things I wanted to mention to him and ask about possible thoughts on what to do about any or all of them.
Number one: need to try for another appointment with another group because the one I was using is backed up for months. So far, none are covered by my insurance. Which means, no visit to a cardiologist any time soon.
Number two: Since I can no longer see a Chiropractor thanks to this rib issue, the next suggestion was physical therapy. Again, my insurance only covers some of that kind thing and I cannot afford to cover the rest. Not with a vehicle that is messing up and a husband who is really starting to worry me as far as his health is concerned. Not with a move coming up in the 12th most expensive city in the US. So, again, no go.
Number three: Started the ball on addressing this G.I. issue again, but I don't think it is covered by this insurance and therefore will have to be skipped as well.
Three issues and he was unable to do anything about any of them. Our healthcare system is so royally screwed up that I cannot get any help from the guy I should be able to. It is just a Ponzi scheme, moving me from the least expensive to the most. Personally I cannot fathom why I am bothering anyway. Between my inclination towards ending this failed existence and a healthcare system that is only concerned about you if you are wealthy, I do not stand a chance. And, thanks to upcoming... sociopolitical situations... I have less than a zero chance to even alleviate any suffering as we head forward. Hell, I expect to lose my meds before too long.
Happy New Year.
****UPDATE**** 01/03/2025
Thanks to everyone who responded to my angry rant. We will just have to do what we can. I just don't really have anything left in me. And, I am looking at maybe having to try and get some kind of stupid job to try and help us. I won't last a week in pretty much anything. If I don't aggravate one of the issues, I will end up damaging something or pissing off some asshat because he thinks his shit does not stink.
Appealing for help from the Fed is pointless. I doubt any of the program that denied me in the past will make it through the upcoming four years anyway. Which is a very scary proposition.
I guess I will also have to look into either selling or 'Goodwill'ing my tools and stuff. I cannot even close my dominant hand anymore, how am I going to work on a cabinet and make jewelry? Ironically, all of it might equal $250. They are decent tools but they are not name brand nor are they new. It amazes me that I thought I might start doing some restorations and things like that three years ago. Several health issues later, it looks like a pipe dream. Fuck it.
Sorry... just not feeling it right now...

I don't know what to offer other than a hug. I'm completely overwhelmed myself.
