Does Anyone Else Think This Is Insane? Health Insurance Policies?
If I got addicted to drugs or alcohol, I could get a month stay at a rehab center – totally paid and other special dispensations….short term disability, and a leave of absence.
If I got pregnant from a rape — my abortion wouldn’t be covered.
If I was the victim of a violent crime (which I was) insurance only marginally attempts to cover any counseling or psychiatry.
So how is it that I can get addicted to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism — and end up on the better end of the deal?!!!!
Instead I try to do the right thing and I can’t afford it. I mean no offense — but depression and anxiety are legit diseases too. How come they don’t merrit the same rehab or help?
This is unbelievable.
