granted my issue is very mild compared to most, but my insurance decided to stop covering one of my meds because "it's too expensive". This is a medication that I've been on for 10+ years. Luckily I don't need it to live and there are good alternatives. But still, the other medication did work a little better than what I'm on now.

Basically health insurance providers suck and they need to be fixed is my only point.

On the flip side - what about when a payer decides "fuck you all" we want to pay less...so, either agree to it or we'll set you as "out of network."nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 10:41 2
