Msp

[squid]

Freakin MSP idiots. Come home to find my MSP bill in the mail. Billing date Dec 4, due date Dec 29. Plastered on the front of the bill " OVERDUE ". Also, it reads " Your account is seriously in arrears. Collection action will commence unless payment in full is received by the due date" The invoice is not even due and I'm already in arrears. Can't imagine the reaction of my customers if I called them up and told them I hadn't shipped their products yet but your account is overdue.

Perhaps they should collect the $20 mil from foreigners who received free medical care in B.C. and left without paying !

Sorry for the rant !!

i can't stand them either. when i first moved out here from ontario (which in ontario you don't have to pay these bullshit premiums) i applied for my msp card. they spelled my last name wrong.

no biggie, til i tried to contact them. the phone line is always busy and i mean ALWAYS!!!!!!! not to mention no one ever replied to my email. when i finally did reach someone i told them and they said alright we'll fix that. time went by and sure enough nothing was fixed.

in the mean time i wasn't paying premiums cause when i first moved out here years ago i was on premium assistance. so i finally got a new card with my name spelled correctly and that year when i did my taxes i got a nice little notice in the mail saying that i owed msp over $1500 in backed payments.

because no one with my name as was spelled on that card was claiming an income the real me wasn't being charged even though i was now making more money.

what a fucking mess that was. bullshit to begin with to have to pay those premiums. isn't that why we pay so many taxes?????? FUCKING BULLSHIT!
