Arrrrggggggh!

Health care insurance - a wonderful thing that prevents us from paying tons of money for our needed pharmceuticals. Unless you want them now. I go to Costco to pick up my drugs that I called in online (convenient). When I get there they tell me they cancelled filling one of my drugs and would I mind waiting 5 mins for them to do it (not convenient)? I wait. Oh still not ready, can you wait 5 more mins? I ask "Are you sure it's another 5 mins?" She says now "5-10 mins?" I tell her if she's guessing then I am not playing. I called ahead so I would not have to wait, although I waited in line to get served. Do I have to wait in line again. No. OK. Hurry up. Then the pharmacist shows up - you cannot geet your drugs filled unless you are 7 days away from taking the last pill. So I ask - what about vacations? She says our drug plan makes the rules. I can transfer the prescription if I am going away or pay the whole price and TRY and get my money back from my drug plan company. Try I ask?? Try??? What is this? And why wasn't this in bold print when the drug cards were issued? I obviously have to talk to my drug plan company and put in a complaint (not convenient). So I did the stubborn thing and left without the drug because knowing my luck I would not be able to get reimbursed the cash. Dollars to doughnuts. So if you are a family member of the Canadian Forces community, RCMP family member, etc, good luck with trying to get your drugs and have your bases covered ahead of time. Good luck. Another positive experience with the computerization of our planet.
