It just keeps getting funner and funner

Heard this morning from my HR department. They are forced to stop my paycheck since Metlife has not reopened my claim in over 30 days. Sure makes trying to get better harder to do with no money coming in. Metlife will undoubtedly drag this out as far as they can - hoping to force me back to work and saving themselves all kinds of money (figuring that I'm far from the only person they are doing this to). I'm not sure why they chose to loosen their attack dogs on me, but I think it's just the way insurance works in a difficult economy. Doesn't make it any easier for me and my family to live though. Going back to work now, aside from the fact that I'm not in any shape to do so, would be like admitting that Metlife is right - that my leave was unjustified all along. And it's all because I have a condition that cannot be proven by a lab test or any other relatively inexpensive means. A PET scan (hugely expensive) could show evidence of it (but Metlife would never approve the procedure as medically justified) - as could a tilt table test - but not sure they would even do that. Feel pretty well abandoned by all except my wonderful wife and family and my Lord - whom I need to come through on this one big time. And I thought healthcare was a national disgrace before this came about. Notice how much the new health reform is doing to help me with this as well - absolutely nothing. Some reform. President Obama thinks he's the greatest since FDR, when he's not even scratched the surface of the problems with healthcare in this country. It will continue to get more and more expensive- and I thought the objective was to get soaring costs under control. Silly me.
