Default So, even when you have insurance...

It's not all green pastures.

Case in point, I went to the pain doctor today. 3 hour visit, great visit in fact.

He prescribed me Sativex, which is essentially marijuana in a bottle (spray).

Great right? "Oh don't worry your insurance will cover it".

They don't.

The drug will cost me $500+ out of pocket.

Should I just start growing a plant? (kidding, he did say there were other options to try if it wasn't covered).

Sigh. They don't make things easy for us do they?
