Going out is REALLY hard on me. There's the agoraphobia, there's the oxygen tank I have to lug, the wheelchair, the difficulty just getting me and the chair and tank out of the house and into the car, then out of the car and into the place we're going and back out.
This is why when I make an appointment someplace, I make it very clear when I speak to them: I am on UHC through Texas Star program, that is MEDICAID. DO you accept it?
If they say yes, I make the appointment. If they say no, I thank them for their time and look elsewhere.
So when I go through the sheer HELL of getting out of the house and into a care provider's office, after verifying that they take my insurance, and they look at my card and say: "Haha, nope, we don't take that one." I get RIPSHIT.
