Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Oh boy do I know about this. I got suckered into the mental health system when my first husband had good insurance and that was my descent into hospitalisation and medication. I never really tapered off until I didn't have insurance....I did get disability, but I had no medical coverage because I had more than #2,000 in the bank. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. ----- Original Message -----From: "survivor030406" To: SSRIsex Subject: Re: new hereDate: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:26:46 -0000 I had better insurance while I was working, but most doctors saw thisas an opportunity to commit unrestrained insurance fraud.Being poor certainly has it's ups and downs, but as for med bills,it's ok, but quality of care totally depends on the doctors "mental"state.> > >> > >> > > Hello.
