I had a momemt of clarity this morning.
Israel is not known for its smooth and efficient governmental processes. Things here run by Bureaucracy with a capital B.
We recently took Kayla to the ER because of a scare regarding her breathing in the middle of the night. Thank G-d she was ok, but then we had a problem because she was temporarily off our (national) insurance plan. So we have been trying to work things out between the National Insurance Agency, our specific health plan and, eventually, the hospital.
Well, after waiting on the phone for a long while (a few times), taking trips to offices and speaking with different reps, it seems that things might be worked out. And that's just to get Kayla on the plan. We're not talking about reimbursement for the hefty hospital bill, yet.
But I realized - for all the grumbling and complaining - maybe this is how it's supposed to be.
Nobody here puts too much stock in the government solving their personal problems. While you're waiting on the line, you're praying that everything be resolved. And when, in the end, things finally are - you know Who really did it.
