Working in healthcare reminds me on the daily that the US medical system is fucked up but a recent example that hasn't escaped my mind for weeks is that a patient with a new diagnosis for HIV was trying to get his medication... but his insurance rejected it and said that they don't cover any HIV meds

#it was also first line treatment too #doctor had to write a letter and everything #and i think they still didnt cover it cause they had to get samples or something so the patient could get something treat his hiv #idk how that is even legal #no one can convince me that private insurance is good when shit like this happens #also saw a doctor talk about how he had to do a prior auth for Lisinopril #Lisinopril... cheap ass drug that is used like crazy #also dont get cvs caremark
