no, i will be dropped by insurance soon after i get another job. within 3 months max. i was seriously lucky to even get it. i was close to being left crippled! it was very irresponsible for me to sk8 w/out insurance and i deserve my consequences. i guess it will be a long time til i sk8 again. i know no insurance company would insure me on my own. at least i started painting yesterday and enjoy that because my life is not happy now being a cripple. thats why i am trying to get all surgeries done since i'm not sure when i will have insurance and i want to be able at least to run again, if i get the chance to move to a better country, i wont hesitate. my next job will be boring but will only look for good benefits/insurance.

: : so would aflac cover my arm?
:
: Very unlikely. An accident insurance pays for accidents happening during the time you are insured. Your injury happend before, so no pay. If you brake your other arm during the insured time, they will pay. The next question is if they pay treatment or disability. Did you have a chance to look at the contract?
:
: : thats my concern. they havent called back so i'm happy. because i would lose the insurance way before i get theirs.
:
: Can't you extend your health insurance until your arm is well again?

 ur new insurance, doesnt have pre-existing conditions? i was told that when u get insurance through a company, that if they dont ask questions this isnt a problem, just if i were to apply for it myself.

 Claudine, AFLAC is not insurance. It only covers accidents such as falling while skating. It does not cover medical such as sickness. I have also been told that group policies cover all employees and there are no pre-existing conditions. Getting insurance on your own is a whole different deal. I looked into getting my own insurance after my surgery and nobody would insure me.

 : oh, called my ortho center, said aflac isnt insurance?

Aflac is an insurance company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aflac). It seems that your future employer offers an accident insurance via Aflac. This is not a health insurance police. Probably this was meant by your ortho center.

In Switzerland, accident insurance is obligatory. Your employer has to provide an accident insurance. They had to pay for treatment of my leg and my hand.

The meaning of 'accident insurance' is different in Switzerland and in Germany, however. In Germany, an accident insurance pays for permanent disability (e.g. if you loose an arm), in Switzerland they pay for health treatment after an injury. I do not know what an Aflac policy covers.

BTW, health insurance in Switzerland has to be done by the employee. Sometimes a company offers the possibility to join a collective policy, sometimes they pay part of the policy. But normally, you have to pay health insurance yourself.

 lucky me, since my injuries make me disabled now, if i work and can earn significant income i am entitled to up to 36 months of coverage. just when i work might cost between $600-$700 per month lol. but its not forever. and i just had my 2nd interview and 3rd interview tomorrow. customer service is required too so i will enjoy that. i like to chat! so maybe things will be ok. so in Oz, do they speak english? I think i still want to move. ;-D

oh come-on irene, dont u love the game in our country of filling out paper work, being on the phone for hours and getting no response and months later getting an apology that their system was locked but now they will start to process it? then all the rich people lie and cheat out their butts off so they dont pay taxes and such so they can go on more vacations lol? just dont forget ur overweight luggage, (ME!) i think everything is a game here, even to get covered w/ insurance seems to be a word game and hours on the phone being put on hold.

i think ive scratched a nerve?
we are not full yet, theres plenty more room on the bbq for a few more chops, downunder.
this week in melbournetown we have checked out rampfest, a new indoor park, very good.
also a new outdoors, concrete park at meadowheights. id say, the smoothest surface ive seen.
at chelsea, the new 1/2 pipe should be erected any day now. cant wait, i should be ready to roll then. only wearing sling at work now. i can feel that the bone has joined up, better each day.
they say melb is the sporting capital of oz, so far as vert sk8ings concerned, we are being spoiled rotten.
sorry, dont mean to rub it in.
oz - great place - great people - minimal bs - no bad attitudes.

come nov, you guys have a big decision to make.
a tough 1, faced with poor choices.
the answer is not always black or white.

enough said, cheers, h .

good to hear your on the mend, wouldnt it be wise to allow some time to pass to let l/h knee heal fully before getting r/h knee sorted?
sorry to hear about the job situation, i hope fate smiles on you and can find a suitable position.
keep your chin up, you are a tough mumma. dont let anyone or anything break your stride. i know you will roll vert again, just wait till your 100%.
most importantly , dont lose your sense of humor.

: : i would go in a heartbeat but this boring job offered me crap pay where i would be worse off financially and unable to afford decent food or pay medical insurance and no creativity. i hate print jobs actually. they said the "economy is bad, we have to make cutbacks." so yes they LIED to me when they swore they were financially stable. so i told this woman twice my size off. i'm not doing a boring job that needs no college education nor talent and changing my career unless its a stable company w/ decent pay. i stated my requirements. so still broke lol. only creative jobs would i put up w/ this. still broken too but oct. 1st may be a good day for arm freedom! i will need knee surgery on my right knee too. still cant do squats w/out feeling like i have a razor blade in my knee other knee,operated knee is fine now tho. no more thigh and butt muscles to brag about now so i want to get this fixed!!

: good to hear your on the mend, wouldnt it be wise to allow some time to pass to let l/h knee heal fully before getting r/h knee sorted?
: sorry to hear about the job situation, i hope fate smiles on you and can find a suitable position.
: keep your chin up, you are a tough mumma. dont let anyone or anything break your stride. i know you will roll vert again, just wait till your 100%.
: most importantly , dont lose your sense of humor.
: cheers, h .
i cant get right knee looked at til arm is healed. but left knee will only get so much healed. i'm stopping therapy for it this week since my right knee hurts a lot now from it and not doing exercises on my own since it hurts. i think i will just do what i can on my own. i hope my arm is miraculously healed this week. i am waiting for them to lower my rent but they said system is locked so no money for healthy foods until then. that should be any day now i hope. at least i was taken out for dinner the other night but i think it was unhealthy, opps. but i am OK, started painting again although its frustrating, promise i will not cut off my ear lol! i will have to be an artist for awhile rather then sk8r.
