[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  wow, this board is something else and I will choose my words more carefully IF I ever post in the future.  Thanks to those who provided helpful advice. I was simply looking for a good in-network option with the mounting costs of having two special needs kids.  The "high income" comment was simply expressing a broader frustration that, if this is hard for us, it must be impossible for some.  FWI
W, a lot of DC would not categorize us as "high income" but we are not struggling to pay the mortgage.  We are living paycheck to paycheck without a lot of discretionary spending, but I am not complaining.  I am just trying to explore options for good help for my kids and feel it should be covered by insurance like any other medical issue.  Things are hard enough for those of us who have kids who need these services.  They should be covered.  (AND, we shouldn't have to be called "complainers' or otherwise criticized by other parents who we look to for support!  Geesh!  [/quote]

OP, I posted before (hopefully one of the helpful posts), and I want to just say that I am sorry that so many people are so awful on this board.  It's really sad when people come here looking for advice and input and are subjected to needless personal attacks.  I've seen quite a bit of it (and experienced some of it) and it seems to be getting worse.  I think there are a lot of people that think it is good sport or maybe are just really angry people --- both of which are just so, so sad.  
Again, good luck.  It's very frustrating that there is such a shortage of good care around here that takes insurance.  I think it's because there are so many people with money, that the good folks don't have to take insurance -- they have plenty of people willing and able to self pay.  That's not the case in a lot of the country. (I wonder if it's a similar situation in places like Manhattan and San Francisco?).
