  • In my experience, PPOs are nearly as restrictive as HMOs, but far more arcane.

    I have had many experiences where in attempting to see a doctor, I find one that seems to accept my insurance, only to later discover that they only accept the platinum plan, and I’m on the Platinum PLUS plan, so actually none of my visits were covered.

    With an HMO (I had kaiser, which was by far the best healthcare I’ve ever had) shit was obvious. You got treatment from the HMOs offices, and you were covered.






  • BPD sucks to have, and it sucks to deal with in a loved one.

    However, it’s important to keep in mind that all people are different. BPD traits exist on a spectrum like all personality disorders (or all personality traits, really)

    I would not break up with her just because she has BPD, that would be shitty. But if she is mistreating you, or if you just can’t deal with her mood swings or whatever, it’s fine to look out for yourself and do what’s right for your happiness.

    Other people have mentioned DBT therapy, and it really can be life changing for people who suffer from BPD so it’s worth looking into.
