So I have been thinking about this for quite some time now but I think it is something I would like to put out here. For those of us that take insurance, most take BC/BS. I am included in that group. For the past few years I have been very frustrated by the payments of their Options plan. For a while I thought of just telling prospective clients that I am unable to see them for one reason or another. I did this a few times, but it never sat well with me. So I didn't do it again.
Upon thinking of it more deeply, I realized that those who are on Options or other lower paying plans for any company, are in need of those low cost or free plans for a reason. How could I discriminate against someone because they cannot afford health insurance?
The answer is, I simply can't. I am, in my mind and ethically, bound to help as many people I can, no matter what they can pay. It isn't easy and for me, I need the higher payers as well because I have to support myself but I have felt a pull to provide for all people in need.
Any thoughts on this?

Hi I wanted to remind everyone that I know of an incredible Health Coach that I use as a referral for my clients that need dietary or other help with health concerns. This is a wonderful adjunct to my therapy. Skylar has helped several of my clients through issues of chronic illness, menopause, poor eating habits such as sugar addiction, allergies, etc. Because she has helped my clients keep her in mind for yours.
