I hate this.

Seriously, who would prefer to be learning about insurance than doing other things?  Any other things.  And if for some chance you have found this and are reading it, then you are as confused as I am.  And would probably prefer doing other things as well. Am I right?

It's the new year.  January first.  And I can think of a bajillion other things that I would rather be doing, but I am pressing on because:

  1. We missed the deadline for deciding which plan we wanted to be on and I was seriously committed to learning more about it (Can't you tell?) 
  2. I keep hearing more and more about healthcare and insurance.  I would like to understand at least some of it....you know, just in case I'm ever at a dinner party.  I'd love to sound somewhat intelligent while standing there with a drink in my hand.
  3. I'm dealing with a chronic (minor) health issue and it's not going away.  
  4. I'm still afraid to open my EOB.
I'm not making this a new year's resolution.  I can't.  I already have Eat More Vegetables and Plants on my resolution list and I don't think I could succeed at having two new year's resolutions.  I guess that's why I haven't told any of my family that I'm doing this. Not a SOUL. (In case I don't actually do it).  In the meantime, I listened to part of this lecture and have been meaning to finish it (it's hard to listen to anything in it's entirety with a three year old talking to you in the background): 

Irrational Doctors and Patients

It's a piece of the puzzle. 

Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2013,
