Insurance Endurance

I spent some quality time on the phone today with my health insurance company. Round One goes to me-- they’ve acknowledged that they preauthorized the MRI in question and their claims department will be so informed. I just love these folks, and thanks to James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is”, I have a great old song to borrow to express my devotion…

How sweet it is to be insured by you
How sweet it is to be insured by you

I needed the shelter of insurance, there you were
I needed someone to understand my conditions, there you were
With delays and commotion
Deeply touching my emotions
I want to stop and thank you claims folks
I want to stop and thank you claims folks (yes I do)

How sweet it is to be insured by you (feel so fine)
How sweet it is to be insured by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I’ve claimed is at your door
Every time I call it seems we’ve been here before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
My claims you’ve denied in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you claims folks
I just want to stop and thank you claims folks (woah, yeah)

How sweet it is to be insured by you (it's just like sugar sometimes)
How sweet it is to be insured by you

(Woah, yeah)

You are slower to pay than a glacier moves
For me, it’s proof that we patients are abused
I want to stop and thank you claims folks
I just want to stop and thank you claims folks (woah, yes)

How sweet it is to be insured by you
How sweet it is to be insured by you (woah, now)
How sweet it is to be insured by you (it's like jelly, baby, woah now)
How sweet it is to be insured by you (just like honey to the bee babe, yeah now)
How sweet it is to be insured by you
How sweet it is to be insured by you
