Highlights
Sharing The Frustration of Dealing With An Insurance Company
Whether or not you have employer-sponsored insurance, dealing with insurance companies and the medical industry, in general, can be a pain in the ass. Especially when you begin to feel they want you healthy enough to keep paying into the system but never sick enough to truly need them for then you are a liability. And I swear to you, as you watch Daisy deal with Rudy and the receptionist, it makes you take a deep breath in and a deep breath out to calm your blood pressure.
Yet, with Rudy being who he is, and unapologetic about it, that makes everything that happens to him the sweetest comeuppance.
Overall
Rating: Positive (Worth Seeing)
I’m not going to lie, when it comes to Wiggle Room, it originally wasn’t on my list of things to watch, but Gibson caught my eye, and something about her presence made me want to know Daisy’s story. And as we saw people blow up on staff members of the insurance agency, yet her remain calm, I just wanted to see her succeed. And for that, Wiggle Room receives a positive label. For in a sea of shorts, it does what you so badly want when you have far too many options: hooking you early and rewarding you for sticking around.
