Iâve got my tumblr inbox turned off so I really have to commend the person who actually emailed me to let me know they donât like the things Iâve posted about the UnitedHealth CEO being murdered on their commitment to their beliefs.
But seen as how you emailed me from a dud email that appears to be bouncing back replies and I really wanted to address something you said to me about violence begetting violence:
My migraine medication, the medication I was given for my debilitating neurological disease that has gotten so bad I spent most of this year actively suicidal, costs $1300 a month.
My insurance covered it. But only because my doctors office went to fucking war for me because Iâm a high anaphylaxis risk for the drugs the insurance wanted me to try.
Because thatâs the thing.
My doctors knew, based on my documented medical history, I likely wouldnât be a good fit for the âfirst lineâ of preventative migraine drugs, but because of insurance, I had to be given drugs that were contradictory to my other life threatening conditions, because otherwise insurance wouldnât cover anything else.
I failed them. Spectacularly and with an anaphylactic reaction to one of them. And I was still warned insurance would fight me because I hadnât tried the remaining drug they wanted me to try.
A drug which I would have to take in an ER waiting room because my mast cell disease is unpredictable but insurance wouldnât cover in-patient treatment to let me try it safely under medical supervision.
Were all the times I was denied coverage for vital and necessary procedures that could have prevented my disabilities from worsening not violence?
Maybe not in the sense you mean. But I assure you it felt very much like violence to me.
Do I condone murder? No, obviously. But Iâm also sick and tired of people pretending that what is happening to the American people every day isnât eugenics through class warfare.
Violence begets violence.
Maybe these insurance companies should have thought of that first.
