I’m also also in the US and the problem I’m having right now is that I moved from one state to another, and I can’t switch my medicaid over to the new state until the old state is closed out, and I can’t do that until my caseworker, whom I ve never met or had any dealings with, chooses to follow through on my request. They are literally the only human on the planet standing between me and medical coverage and I can’t get ahold of them. I’ve left Voicemails, and just spent $17 to send a certified letter that requires a signature. It’ll hopefully get there by Friday, because the post office had zero options to get it there overnight. Meanwhile, i’m running low on medications, and in a lot of pain that I need to see a doctor about ASAP. I may have to spend 8 hours in the car tomorrow to go back to the old state on the off chance that someone can help me in person.
OMG what a nightmare. I cannot imagine layering government on top of healthcare. It’s like the perfect storm of inefficiency. I’m sending good thoughts your way. I hope it is sorted quickly.
