    When I have a bad day, I have a BAD day!!

    ugh.
    So this morning we get a letter in the mail telling us that my husbands employer has not been paying our insurance premiums, so we have no health insurance. GRAND! I had my yearly exam this afternoon...
    And then I get to thinking... what about the 401k.
    Sure enough, a call to the 401k carrier tells me that they haven't deposited my husbands funds into his account since July 3rd!! He has 164.00 deferred a week!!! That is a TON of money!
    So then I get to the doctor and she finds something in my left breast and orders a mamo- stat. I had a suspect mamo last year, so she thinks something may be going on!!
    Can it get any worse???!!!!
    As you can prolly guess, hubbys company is going under. But IMO what they have been doing is criminal!
    He also has 50.00 a week deferred for medical insurance.
    The company is a corp. out of CA. Do any of the legal minds have any advice on recourse? I know we are SOL once they go BK, but anything we can do now?
    Also, what do I do if something IS wrong w/the boobles and it is the big C?? How will I get those bills paid? Any aid out there I could apply for? What do people do? UGH.
    My stress level is THROUGH THE ROOF right now! Freaking out!!
    Heeelllllppppppp!

    gee, I'm sorry to hear this. Alas, I have no idea what you can do. Insurance commissioner? State? There are laws, and it sounds like they were broken!

    I would try the state insurance commissioner and maybe an employment commission? In Texas I think we have hotlines for general "HELP!" calls concerning those.

    Best wishes and positive energy to you.

    Holy Crap! - I don't know about the insurance, but the 401K money is YOURS and it sounds like they've been stealing it....

    Oh - you might possibly be able to get retroactive COBRA insurance coverage (I think its possible in this state at least), but that still means paying the premiums!

    I hope that this all gets straightened out soon. It would seem a lawyer is going to be what you need to deal with the money they've been stealing from your hubby. What a nightmare.

    Keep the thoughts positive on the mammogram... they are usually nothing no matter how strange things seem. It's just horrible waiting, and usually the mammo doesn't tell you enough.. ask for the ultrasound if they are unsure. It will put your mind at ease -- and it sounds like you could use that right now.

    My thoughts are going out to you, along with some positive vibes.
    Good Luck and keep us posted.
