I really enjoy your blog. If we have a slow Saturday or afternoon at work, we will pull up your blog. We always get a kick out of it. We always say, “That’s so true!”

I’m a pharmacy student and I enjoy reading about the good & not-so-good times.

My boss actually asked me once to run claims on someone else’s Medicare plan to see if something would be covered for another patient of ours if she chose that Medicare plan. I shook my head then told her that I wouldn’t even know if that person’s plan was the same tier. I told her to make the lazy patient call UPMC since she didn’t want to do any of her own research.

The next year, she brought me a list of 22 drugs she takes on a regular basis, and told me to run it through the system our company so helpfully provided us with, and find her a plan with 1) no deductible, and 2) no donut hole. I laughed my butt off and gave it back. There is no plan that will do that with Advair, Prevacid (BID, no less), Ritalin, and a few other pricey drugs that I can’t remember. It just gave her the plan with the cheapest prices for the donut hole, which were not any better than her current plan. Thankfully, she did not make me locate someone on that new plan to “try her meds”.

Universal health care could end that BS - one system - one cost for everyone. But since lobbyists run the country and no lobbyist has any interest in it, it will never happen.

Re: “similar”:

“It’s not covered? Well, call the doctor and tell him to prescribe something that IS covered!”
