I am So Good.

[featherynscale]

I am so good that when our insurance broker called me just a minute ago to say that the health insurance company we were negotiating with (which I will not name, but which starts with a C and ends with an A and has the first part of a word for SET ON FIRE in the middle) refused to even consider our group because we have too many female employees, I did not say, "Well, tell them if they'll cover my SRS we'll have one less."

That is how good I am.

HEADDESK.

Same way that auto insurance companies can charge you more if you're male, and/or under 25. Statistically, the risk for one demographic is higher than the other. I mean, you know, there are a whole lot of uteruses (uteri?) in this agency that could be spewing forth babies at any time -- hordes of babies, roaming the plains, demanding that the insurance company provide the service we pay them for! That sort of thing cuts profit margins, and in these uncertain times, we can't be having with that.

I know as a woman I'm more likely to get certain diseases than a man. I also know as a woman, I'm more likely to catch a disease early and seek preventative treatments.

Ugh. This country, I swear.

Do they check if any of the woman have had those organs removed or 'disconnected' before making that decision?
