Kroger boasts about thier morals, ethics and family values. Being a 23 yr. employee I always thought that to be true. I never would have beleived I was so wrong. Recently i was diagnosed with a devastating disease called devics also known as nmo. For the longest time there has been no standard effective treatment for this disease. This disease is progressive and threatens to leave me in a wheelchair. I am asingle father of 2 and you can imagine the affect this has on my children as they watch me go through this. Over the last few years they have been doing studies in stem cell transplantation that show the ability to not only stop but reverse this disease. Unfortunately this is not a covered treatment under our insurance. So, coverage was denied. No worries, based on what ithought I knew about the company i have worked for, for 23 years i figured a quick appeal and an overturn. Not to be, They repeatedly ignored my need for treatment, Outside of my union rep, no one in thecompany will even talk to me face to face. It is apparent to me now that this has nothing to do with morals, ethics or family values. Kroger is just another monger inthe corporate greed business.

you just contracted something rare with no proven way of treating it outside of a few small studies. No health insurance company probably supports the treatment. Your problem isn't with Kroger it's with the healthcare system in general.

Sorry, bro.

So what company do you know that does have that type of helth care for new or rare issues that come up? With the cost of health care going up 20 to 30 percent or more , each year, one can not just change the policies. They are set by an agreement and smarter people than any of us here, during contract talks  and rattifies by all eery few years. If the compny wanted to cange it ay tme they felt, youwould not like it or the cost to you or I. It i no th company but the povidrs that the company an union picks and has ratified duing contract talks.

Have seen this company shove out a lot of money on cancer claims. That ill atupa l of he cash for health car quickly

That is exactly what I am talking about.  How the heck does this person even find SOME of the right keys to hit?  Now I have a headache from trying to read what I can only imagine coming from a two year old.

I had somewhat the same problem and my Dr. sent a letter for his lawyer to sue and before it went to court they approved. Talk to your Dr.

Good Luck!
