A Mass Effect eye roll. Just so damn perfect.
If you can figure it out, the mail order prescription can be way way cheaper. I was able to do it for like 6 months in college and I don’t know if it became illegal in NYS or it was only my pediatrician (who ‘graduated’ me from the practice) that could figure out how to write a mail order scrip for a Class II…
Just an FYI you don’t have to be a Costco member to get prescriptions or glasses there.
I’ve looked at their prices before and they seem really reasonable. I know a lot of people used it for generic tamiflu this year. I have a high deductible plan so I pay out of pocket but the discounts are pretty good through my insurance.. I use express scripts to get my adderall mail ordered and that way I don’t…
The problem is that having an abortion becomes a pre-existing condition. It’s truly a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t situation.
You have to remember that the people with ADHD don’t respond the same way to stimulants as neurotypical people do.
As a MA resident, our standing health care laws are unlikely to change, happily.
WaPo is an extra appendage for me and has been since November. I’m in your boat: no preexisting conditions, but I’ll be damned if I walk around uninformed.
Thank you for sharing this. So many people seem to have no idea what these bills do, how cruel they are and how they turn all the incentives for health around. I can only hope that some of them are actually reading these accounts and seeing how their lives might be affected. It’s getting harder and harder to…
Well I’d be fucked as well. Along with clinical depression and chronic asthma, neither which are going away any time soon unless I get a new brain and lungs, I’ve had 2 c-sections, numerous UTI’s and cases of Strep throat and bronchitis, a slight scoliosis of the spine that causes my back to be thrown into spasm…
I was in a state high risk pool in the early 90's, thanks to an autoimmune disease diagnosis is childhood. My parents couldn’t find any insurance for me, as they were small business owners, and college student health plans didn’t cover the specialists I needed to see.
Keep sharing your story! It is important. Many people think that pre-existing condistions means cancer and MS. People need to realize that many many people have then and to realize how hard it can get if those protections are repealed.
I’m really terrified about the high-risk pools as I have a rare genetic disease where I have to get infusions every two weeks which cost about $16,000 per treatment so I feel like I’d be at the bottom of any list to get covered. Right now, I’ve averaging about $800k-$1 million per year and I’m sure my insurance…
I admire people who can get the news about the bill in social media. I have been glued to the Wash Po, NYTimes and Politico webpages for months. I work in healthcare. I don’t have pre-existing conditions but I want to start a family soon. I can’t imagine having pre-existing conditions and not having been glued to the…
Beyond people on the exchanges, pre-existing condition clauses impacted and hurt many of us with employer insurance before Obamacare began protecting us. Republicans lie when they suggest that the millions with insures through employer won’t be hurt.
When I first saw this passed the House all I could think about was my sister. She’s had various cancers in her relatively young life and recurrence is, of course, always possible. She also has Lyme Disease which causes a whole host of issues, etc. and so forth. These types of changes to the ACA could financially…
I am grateful for being able to live and work in Massachusetts. We are not perfect by any means, but people have a chance here.
I’ve been saying it all along, but would you people listen?
Jesus. I get it now. We will not be destroyed by weapons or disease. Its the spiders that will come for us.
