One recently adopted long-haired domestic cat, and I get enough hairballs
coming from the back of *my* throat! Thanks anyway.  I still have to
develop a method to groom his belly. At least he seems to have forgiven me for
the last mat I miscalculated with a pair of scissors, and cut him. )-:

Bottom line, is the Aetna nitwit *you were talking to*, has no chance to make
it work automatically. Compounding the problem, their IT department likely has
more interns than people who know what they are doing. The tip of that iceberg,
is in the boardroom who pee themselves a little every time they erect another
hurdle for a claimant.

Long story. Surgery on Thursday. Pain on Friday. Surgeon called me unprompted.
"Well, the pain would have to be an eight for me to even notice over my
preexisting condition." bla-bla-bla... Still bleeding a six-days later, and
yes, they had no bed for me, so I was back in surgery exactly a week later. All
told, I was standing in an emergency ward for fourteen hours that week.
(Preexisting condition makes sitting next to impossible.)

Latest I heard, this arse is preparing to sue the government to resume
payments! After we just finished paying a former prime minister (Capitalization
omitted deliberately) something like $14-Million for falsely accusing him of a
pay-back scheme that it turns out he *was* guilty of, I'm wondering if your
pay-to-stay-alive system might not be so bad. But most of my health trouble has
been iatrogenic in nature, so besides three set broken bones in a hospital,
(the rest were home-remedied) I'd have been better off staying home.
