Medical Care in Crisis

I am normally a person who is a great believer in MN Care.  It is affordable, it works and it is just plain nice.  However, I am now looking at things a bit differently!  I am a schiztophrenic with bipolar mania.  I need health insurance and because of glitches in the system between Medical Assistance and MN Care, my 8 year old daughter and I have been without insurance for three months.  I take two Anti-psychotic prescriptions, an Anti-Depressant, birth control pills, and a pill to lower cholesterol.  It is a total of approximately $1900.00 in Meds to keep me functioning as a productive member of society.  Without my medication and without seeing my psychiatrist, I am putting myself and everyone else at risk.  What I am blogging about today is the "GLITCH" in the system at MN Care that is affecting over 800 people and happened on the 30th of April.  I am talking about sending my payment online, on time even, and having my bank process the payment therefore putting me out money which could be used to buy a pill or two, maybe.  Now in exchange for this money I paid in, I am supposed to get coverage.  Well, the "GLITCH" is still not fixed and it is going on day 3 without coverage.  I am down to my last pill on all meds and I don't have $1900.00.  I call in and try to get answers and what I get told is "when it is fixed we will back date coverage". When I add more pressure I get asked what should they do.  I told them they need to give me coverage NOW!!  I paid for a service and I want the service NOW!  I guess a supervisor will be calling me back!  They couldn't tell me if I was getting the call today or tomorrow.  This is not the service I was looking for.  It is my opinion that I should be covered now and that since my money has been processed and is out of my bank account and in their hands, that I should be given the coverage NOW.  I would more sympathetic if my payment did not go through and it was still waiting but it was processed and now I am just ANGRY!  I have no money and no coverage, I do not think this is fair!
