Also known as "step" and "tier" programs designed to get everyone on the same cheap (and many outdated) drugs and routinely deny coverage of more commonly prescribed drugs just to save the company money. |
Beatle...thanks for posting the article.
It is truly criminal that the insurance companies can get away with it.
Our legislators don't care because they have their own health care insurance.
Best thing we can do, especially with elections next year....send the article to your local politicians and tell them it is not fair and to fix it...if enough people do it, it may make a difference. We need to put our cynicism and frustrations with our legislators aside for a day and try it. If every American who sees this post contacted their officials, it may make a dent.
