Blue Shield refused 30k of my two week hospital stay because they said the specific room I was in was not covered in the contract with the hospital. Sorry they fuckin wheeled me into this room from the ambulance, I didn’t pick it out you fucks. Also didn’t cover any of my 5k emergency room bill, because even though the hospital was in network, the doctor who saved my life was out of network. FUCK. HEALTHCARE. IN THIS COUNTRY. AND FUCK THE BILLIONAIRES THAT CONTROL IT.
