The article discusses Keri, a former federal employee, whose employment troubles under the Trump administration led to serious health insurance issues. After being fired and rehired due to a judge's ruling, she faced termination again while recovering from surgery, which resulted in her health insurance being canceled and backdated. As a result, Keri received unexpected medical bills despite prior approvals for her procedures. Her experience highlights the instability faced by federal probationary employees and the consequences of abrupt employment actions on their health and financial well-being.
I thought under this new administration, because they are fans of what our mission was, when we were offered the Fork, I thought, 'I don't need to take that 'cause I'm safe.'
My husband said, 'You can't work.' I just had surgery a few days before that. But I did. I worked from my bed.
So, I called Blue Cross and they said 'Yes, that's what they're doing.' And I said 'Well, what happens to the surgical procedure I had?'
You will be receiving a bill.
