I was assaulted by my now ex-husband and when I required medical attention for said injuries, the company (United Healthcare) refused to pay for the care. I was sent a questionare regarding the nature of the injury and when I filled this paperwork in and returned it to UHC offices, I was then sent a bill by the doctor stating the insurance declined to cover the cost of treatment. As a result, I am now partially paralyzed and am unable to do some things many people take for granted. I cannot type on a keyboard as most people do. I use one hand and one finger rather than 8 fingers. I am unable to sweep or mop my floors. To do this would cause my hand to lock up and I would be in extreme pain.<br /><br />I drop things while carrying them (imagine the humiliation to be holding a glass and have it just slip from my hold?). I cannot do many of the things without pain that I once was able to do. Yet the punishment for this man? NOTHING!!!!<br /><br />This is not fair. Where are all the court people to help me now?Jennifer Dotsonnoreply@blogger.com
