Demian<p>So my wife used up the balance on a medical expense. Then a couple days later when I went on the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/healthequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>healthequity</span></a> website to close the account, I noticed another fee applied! After another couple hours yesterday on the phone with a supervisor, I again got the fee refunded and initiated the account closure. I hope this is the last of my troubles with them, tho of course I'll be checking that this get closed out as expected. <br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/MedicareForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareForAll</span></a> <br>3/n</p>
Demian<p>This a year ago and after a couple hours on the phone, I got the fees refunded and was told I was put on a plan that didn't have the fees. Then last month, I noticed the fees returned starting in Dec. After another couple hours on the phone with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/healthequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>healthequity</span></a> supervisor, I again got the fees refunded and was again assured that I was on a plan that should no longer have the fees. But with my trust eroded, we planned to use up the balance and close the account. <br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/MedicareForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareForAll</span></a> 2/n</p>

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“Any Democrat condemning Green’s protest or voting to censure him should know no peace.
