But that's exactly it - the system is not ACTUALLY for "taking care of people", even though publicly they act like it is.
Health insurance is an industry based on extracting as much money as possible from consumers, while paying out the least possible in benefits, in order to "maximize stockholder earnings"; and we have let this go on for years, as we have been convinced it's the best way to "protect ourselves".
But it hasn't really worked that way in the USA for most people for a pretty long time.
Kate, this sounds like a horrible place to be, and I relate so much to the feeling that the system was designed to work against us. I respect your decision to listen to your body and choose rest over another fight. Even though it feels like letting a bully win, I hope you're able to give yourself some grace and acceptance because what I see is that you chose to take care of your body and mind when the alarm bells started ringing. That is just as brave and noble of a choice as choosing to stand up for yourself. I hate that the system doesn't allow us to do both.
I feel so angry. I’m sorry the system is so beyond broken. I’m so sorry you can’t get that time back…..That your focused energy was spent on something that did not produce any positive result. How infuriating! I’m just so sorry.
This is terrible. I don't know what state you're in (physically) but if I could potentially help elevate to the right state official, I'm happy to. Please message me if that would help.
I am very fragile right now too. So I feel like I understand a little about wanting people let it lie. I am going on a weekend trip with a girlfriend and I actually had to text her to not bring up certain topics as I use can't face them at this time.
So very sorry and also angry for you and eveyone else that has to deal with this. Sometimes we do have to let things go, even though that also really hurts. This is shameful but now just take care of yourself.
I'm sorry for your horrible treatment by the insurance and other company. You are a warrior, and do amazing advocacy and work on this field, on behalf of all with mental health struggles.
I can relate to the treatment by INS companies.
Thank you Kate, thank you for your honesty, sincerity and advocacy.
Kate, it is a gross atrocity the United States’ health care system supports, enriching the wealthy stakeholders in these establishments. I am so sorry for the stress, strain, and palpable burden it’s placing on you … so, so many of us. Sending you healing love and care. 🙏🏼
Kate, I’m really sorry to hear this. Your hard work and advocacy in the mental health world is so appreciated, important and so needed. I don’t know the specifics of the situation but it sounds completely unfair. Keep fighting the good fight! We are right here with you.
I’m sorry, and I am so angry on your behalf. What a messed up system we have of taking care of people. 🩷

This! Choosing yourself is not a defeat.

And maybe tomorrow isn’t the day to fight and that is ok too.

Honey - and I am saying that because I have been as exhausted as you and I am old enough to use the word - you made the right decision.
Let it go.
You did the right thing.
Karma is a bitch and they will get theirs sometime, somewhere, somehow
Absolutely 💯
