So, many, many of thousands of dollars per month later (more, that is, over what our obscenely expensive health care coverage ALREADY COST, in 2016), we are insured by the ONLY company available, where we reside. (Yes, that's a real thing.)
I suffer through the incompetently-run website, and all that. Get the plan. Mortgage my entire life, and manage to pay for the first month of the new plan. (Note what this means--it means you pay twice, in December; once for the plan you already have, and once for the new plan.) Everything is all copacetic, as they say.
Get the insurance cards (ahem, more like paper, not cardstock) in the mail. I take them with me, on a sheet of paper, to the drugstore, make sure that they have the info. Then come home, and Mr. H and I tear them out (yes, kids, along the dotted lines, for those idiots that can't figure out how to cut out their own cards...), and go to put them in our respective wallets.
They don't fit.
I mean, not by a teeny skosh; they are simply too large, to fit into ANY normal-sized wallet spot. They don't fit in mine, a typical woman's wallet (bill compartment, change compartment, and a stock side that holds X credit cards and the like). Doesn't fit in the cart slots; doesn't fit IN the damn space in the wallet where you put your paper money. Does. Not. Fit.
I wander over to where Mr. H is wrangling with his--nope, doesn't fit in a man's wallet, either.
I mean...what? WHAT were they thinking? I have had h/c insurance for decades now, and the cards ALWAYS fit. Just like all credit cards, grocery cards, and so on, they're all a standard size. But now? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, this company's healthcare coverage card is NOT the normal size. It's just a skoosh larger, too big to fit in the card slots, too large to fit comfortably in the bill compartment. At a minimum, you'd have to fold it in half and carry it in the bill compartment, I guess. There doesn't seem to be a normal way to moosh it into the card slots.
Jesus, really. Is there NOTHING any more that isn't done incompetently? ANYTHING AT ALL? What, they outsourced this to bloody Pluto, where they don't have the same size *&^%$#@! wallets that we do?
