p I was concerned whether my health insurance would cover my visit to the doctor for my miscarriage. Since my policy does not cover prenatal care, I wasn #8217;t sure what to think. Would they consider the miscarriage something that was prenatal? I tried asking the hospital when I would get the bill (because I am very anxious to know), but they couldn #8217;t give me an answer. They told me to wait for the mail. /p p Well, I received an email from my health insurance stating that I have an explanation of benefits available to view. I logged in so fast to find out. The explanation was only for some lab work that was done (the ultrasound and a tissue culture) but they covered it. In fact, I only have to pay USD22.50 for those things. That was very good news. Now, it #8217;s a matter of waiting for the doctor visit, my RHOGAM shot and my blood work. /p p I finished our federal taxes and we will owe a little more than USD800. Ouch. This morning I initiated a transfer from our savings account to cover the payment. As for the state taxes, I haven #8217;t finished it yet but it appears we will owe about USD60. I know some people think that it #8217;s better to pay less into taxes and having to owe than to have a refund. I #8217;d much rather not have to scrounge up the money to pay for taxes that we owe. Taking from our savings account hurts. If you look to the right, our savings is only a little over USD1,000 since I had to withdraw USD1,000. /p p I #8217;ve been dragging my feet on completing the other thing that will add to our debt. I have to revise our 2005 taxes due to a costly error. I could play the audit game, but I don #8217;t want to go there. It #8217;s already a year of interest we owe and I don #8217;t want to owe any more. For this payment, we do not have enough money in our savings to cover that and we will likely have to enter a payment plan with the IRS or I may decide to use a credit card check to pay the bill. I #8217;m not sure what to do yet. Having debt with the IRS scares me because they have the power to seize accounts. If something bad should happen, I would rather owe money that we can #8217;t pay to the credit cards. /p p Savings going down #8230;debt going up. Not good, but there isn #8217;t much I can do about it but face it and get over with it and move on. /p p class="akst_link" a href="http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/?p=871 amp;akst_action=share-this" title="E-mail this, post to del.icio.us, etc." id="akst_link_871" class="akst_share_link" Share This /a /p p a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/bloggingawaydebt/NCQi?a=nagpzl" img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/bloggingawaydebt/NCQi?i=nagpzl" border="0" /img /a /p ...read full story
