I was down 20 pounds. I was feeling hunger in normal amounts. I was feeling full after normal amounts of food. I wasn’t binging. I was motivated to eat better in general.
Then my insurance company decided I wasn’t seeing sufficiently good results and denied my coverage, which naturally put the drug out of my reach financially. Guess who just threw up for the second time this week after eating too much bullshit at night? I’m so tired of this.
I’m currently thinking about Bill Burr’s bit about how funny The Biggest Loser is because so many people are starving and there’s something absurd about being like, “I can’t stop eating Oreos”. And you know what? There is something absurd about it. And to me in this moment it is kind of funny. Fuck that show for so many other reasons but there is some absurdity in that.
I’m sorry comrade, insurance sucks ass :(
It’s the practicing of medicine without a license at an institutional scale. Deeply evil shit. Thank you, comrade. I’ll be alright
Wife’s doctors (and pharmacists we’ve talked to) are all pissed that no insurance will cover migrane meds that work for so many of their patients.
Even stranger they’re more than happy to pay out for less effective and more expensive meds.
Oh and in one appeal we did changed reasoning why their initial denial was correct multiple times
