Because my normal primary medical provider is not in network in the insurance company I was switched to, and their contracts with the existing insurance companies, I may not be able to even do self-pay. They may not be to see me at all. Thank for the ability to stay with my doctor, #ushealthcare .

We need a lot more Luigis. 😐

Just finished the uniquely American tradition of: figuring out my family's medical insurance situation and adjusting our budget for it when my former-employer's medical insurance ends at the end of this month...

The numbers: I was paying $950 a month for insurance and now I'll be paying around $300 per month. That extra $650 per month in my pocket is what's going to buy my new car. (That and the 100 shares of Apple stock that I sold last week. Cars are crazy expensive these days!) #USHealthcareSucks (2/2)

-sigh- you give medical providers' offices every benefit of the doubt, but then...
Primary care office: "Call this number to get those records"
Person at number: "What? No, we don't process those records, primary care office does, call them back"
Primary care office: "What? No, we don't process them... wait... here... try this OTHER number..."
🙄
Anyone want to wager money on whether I get an answer on this today?

I’m not surprised to learn that Benn Jordan also has #ADHD (many of us artists and musicians do). Bless him for shining a light on what’s been causing the treatment shortage for it, and fuck the DEA.

Ok, going in for a cardiac MRI with multiple possible complicating factors (insulin pump, sensitive kidneys, implanted defibrillator)
This info has been discussed in multiple prep calls, and also exists in my medical records, which the imaging department has access to.
Who wants to bet whether the technicians will still be totally shocked and confused by these factors because no information ever got passed on to them?

Not to just open up with a grouch, but I would really, really, love to see some statistics on whether the ridiculous set of restrictions around ADHD medications have done anything—anything at all—to affect abuse levels.
The current shortage of those medications is expected to last through 2024, and I for one do not expect to still be employed by 2025 if I've got to go a year without being functional.

Is EVERY fuking commercial on TV now for some overpriced drug? What kind of society has elevated the drug industry to FIX people after they are sick instead of focusing on preventive health care? I'll tell you....a society focused on profits of huge corporate drug companies and hospitals versus the health of their citizens. It's sick. #USHealthcareSucks #USOligarchySucks

Got mail from my daughter's dentist that as of September 1, she will no longer be an in-network provider for Premera, the insurance we are with. So we will have to either pay more or find another dentist. This is one of the problems with healthcare in the US. We'd be much better off with a unified national system like every other civilized country has.

Them: Come up with three months of premiums in a week and hand deliver a check to us. K thx bye
Me: …cries softly…
