a little bit stressed now

Hi ladies----Now I'm a little bit stressed and not liking it and here's why. My hubby is an asst. mgr. with Wal-Mart. He recently in the past 2 months transferred from a store in NY where we live to a store right across the border in PA, which was same distance travel-wise and he was trying to get down this way, which is why he transferred. We have health insurance under him, which is BC/BS HMO, which we love b/c it is co-pay and it works out really good with my drs and meds.

Yesterday, I get the mail, and there was a letter in the mail from WM telling him that b/c of his transfer, the HMO we have now is no longer available in PA, so he will lose that at the end of August (mind you, the later was dated 6/30 but just got it the other day) So that means I'll have to switch everything around, and I see my neurologist for the annual appt. in Sept, past when my current health plan will be finish which I am not happy about. I work at a store in NY which offers the HMO, but open enrollment isn't until Sept, which means changes wouldn't take effect until Jan. 1st. I could easily take that plan, which I probably will, but that leaves Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec under this new plan, which by the way, has a $350 deductible you have to meet. So let me tell you, we are not happy.

Now you may be thinking, so what? Well, I have to take meds for my seizure disorder and those are darn expensive. I want to see if I can get the generic of that med until Jan. I am so pissed at Wal-Mart right now I could scream!
