[quote=Anonymous]Even if they told teachers earlier, like this summer, it's not like you can begin searching for new doctors 6 mos in advance. Going from being beholden to only using Kaiser doctors to having to go to other offices may seem like a lot of work, but it's also a chore that all adults have to do. We all have to take time off for doctor's appointments (most DMV doctors offices are open on all federal holidays, it's when a lot of us schedule our appts). Pull our kids out for doctor's appointments. Take our kids into ped's offices (though I call shenanigans on there still be toys in most ped's offices in a pandemic world - wear a mask, take sanitizer along, wash everyone's hands after that ped's appt). Having had an insurance switch literally the day before scheduled, life changing, life saving surgery, yes I know it's scary. The whole way that we tie health insurance to work is scary. But truly it's life, teachers. It really is. There are so many things that parents will support you on: hiring, pay retention, sub pay, reducing syphax numbers, the calendar, heck we'll even listen to ventilation lady if you need us to, but the insurance thing really is the way it works.
