Let me explain with my current situation. I am 22 F and I currently weigh 305lbs.
I am obese. Morbidly obese.
Even though I have been trying for 5 years at this point to lose the weight on my own. Eat healthier, eat more fruits and veggies, cut out excess sugar, walk more, exercise more, the whole kit and caboodle.
But I still am not losing the weight. I am still very fat. And I am worried that it will cause very serious health problems.
So I talked with my doctor and she told me “We need to get you on a weight loss medication. Let’s try Ozempic”.
But my insurance told us that they don’t think I need the Ozempic so they won’t pay for it.
So we tried Wegovy and Mounjaro. But my insurance still rejected our requests.
They’re saying because I am young, and I am a diabetic with good numbers, I dont need the weight loss meds and I can just lose the weight naturally.
But ive been trying to and it hasn’t been working. So that’s why my doctor prescribed me the weight loss med.
Why is this allowed? Why is it that your insurance can deny you a medication, even if your doctor says you need it?
The health insurance industry is an objectively evil but very profitable business model, that sustains itself directly on human misery.
This is allowed because our government is corrupt, paid off, and broadly dysfunctional, and/or controlled by ideological/religious extremists who hold bigotry of one kind or another as a fundamental principle.
This is allowed because exploiting your suffering makes a small number of people very wealthy.
And that small number of people runs everything by way of paying off nearly everyone involved in potentially regulating them, nearly every elected representative at the level of State government or higher.
You live in a failing, rogue, totalitarian, extremist state, run by pedophile rapist murderers who lie openly and brazenly every day.
You do not live in a well-run, representative democracy, that sees to the needs of its citizens.
You live it’s corpse.
