Seriously?!?!?!?

Why would I drive 25 miles (45 mins in traffic) to hospital 'B' when I have a hospital right Here at letter 'C' ??? 

I have spent the last two days on the phone with my insurance and their medical groups, and the med group doctors, and receptionists, to find a Obgyn that can do a yearly check up for me and deliever my babies when that time comes. And I am about to rip my hair out!  We have a new insurance called Healthnet which is totally different than any other insurance I have ever had. I miss my Kaiser Permanente where you just went to Kaiser doctors and the nearest Kaiser hospital, they were so great! I want to cry just thinking about it!
since we have an HMO plan Healthnet requires me to drive all the frickin way to Simi Valley for my nearest hospital! Only if we pay more money and get a PPO plan can I go to the hospital that is 5 mins from my house.
I can't believe how confussing my insurance is and all the rules they have and all the information they 'didn't know'. I like insurance companies that you can just call up and get a straight answer from. this insurance makes you call a billion other people and medical groups cause they 'don't know'  I didn't even have to deal with medical groups before this. ha! I didn't even know what a medical group WAS before this!
