Hey y'all! I am once again in health insurance hell, and could really use some help. I have a specific US health insurance question, but it might get long so it's below a read more

My employer offers two health plan options, and they are both absolutely terrible. I want to get my own health insurance, but the insurance broker lady I used when I worked part time says I can't, because I can get health insurance through my employer, even if I opt out. I spoke to another health insurance person today, and she said if I get a letter on company letterhead saying I'll lose health insurance on [date], as long as it's 60 days or less from now, it counts as a qualifying event and I can buy my own health insurance. She said opting out counted as losing health insurance. Do you know anything about this? How do I get health insurance as an individual NOT through my employer even though my employer offers it? The plans my employer is offering are Aetna, and Aetna is the absolute worst and I despise them as a company so much one of my long term goals is to warn people against them. They suck! They refused to pay for my inhaler until I got my doctor to fill out a form like three times, and also I had to email them A LOT and fill out a LOT of surveys with an emphasis on how horrifying I found it that they as a company clearly valued profit over their customer's lives, and would in fact prefer their customers die before they could reach the ER in case of an emergency, as evidenced by their refusing to pay for my rescue inhaler, a necessary life-saving medication. They also require I fill that form out every year, just in case I magically stop being in the small minority of people who get severe adverse reactions to albuterol and levalbuterol

Inhalers.

Tara's is orange. This means it's a preventative one that you use daily.

Fluticasone is one medication that is commonly used in orange inhalers. This is used for asthma and COPD. The function of this is to prevent you from getting symptoms. This medication is a steroid, and needs to be used daily. The NHS also says "It's important to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after using a steroid preventer inhaler. This is to prevent infections and a sore mouth." You will usually get a second inhaler - a reliever (usually blue) - for use when you do get symptoms.

The dosage is 1 or 2 puffs taken twice a day. You need to use it even if you don't have symptoms. The dosage can vary between people, it's interesting to note that if you need to take more than 400 micrograms a day then you'll need to carry a blue steroid treatment card, a red steroid emergency card, or both (in the UK, it may be a bit different in America).

Also interesting to note that taking fluticasone at high doses for a long time can slow down the normal growth of children and teenagers - but that this is not likely to affect their adult height.

So. Actually, in light of this, it makes perfect sense why it was so important that Tara was able to get her inhaler in 5 (and if she was on a high dose she might not actually just be able to get a replacement without documentation), however where they drop the ball is they only ever show the 1 orange inhaler when she really should have a second blue inhaler for relieving symptoms (such as in the shrine).

James Young Simpson was born on 7th June 1811 in Bathgate, West Lothian.

At the age of 4, James went to the local school where he excelled. The family pulled their belts in,in order to send him to college. In 1825 at the age of 14 he studied arts at Edinburgh University, transferring to medicine two years later. He qualified at the age of 18 but until he could take up his degree at the age of 20, he worked as assistant to the professor of pathology. Already he had determined to become an obstetrician even though the specialty was still regarded with disfavour by the profession.

Settling in Stockbridge, he built up a large practice and obtained a position in the Leith Lying-in Hospital. From his writings and lectures on the subject, his exceptional ability was soon recognised. At the age of 24, he was elected president of the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh.

By now the University of Edinburgh medical faculty had become one of the finest in the world. The chair of midwifery, founded in 1726, was the first of its kind in the British Isles. The incumbent, Professor James Hamilton, was due to retire in 1839, and Simpson set his mind on succeeding him. Finally it was a choice between him and Evory Kennedy of Dublin. Simpson won by a single vote. Over the next 30 years he made Edinburgh the foremost centre in the field.

Simpson had a magnetic personality that appealed to all he met. Kindly, gentle, religious, and sympathetic, he inspired the confidence and love of his patients. All his life he worked extremely hard but always found time to attend the poor. He was an excellent host, gathering about him people from all walks of life. Exceptionally well read, he had wide interests. With an alert intellect, he was a brilliant conversationalist who enjoyed controversy. When in argument he was right, he was irresistible, and when wrong, formidable. Not only was he an acute observer and experimenter but also gifted with insight and vision. For example, in his graduation address he foretold the use of x rays and other methods of body imaging, saying: “Possibly by the concentration of electrical and other lights we may render many parts of the body, if not the whole body, sufficiently diaphanous for the practiced eye of the physician and surgeon”.

Simpson started to use ether on January 19, 1847 but didn’t like the smell and was determined to find a better alternative. On the weeks running up to the evening of November 4, 1847, they had tested several anaesthetics running a series of experiments trying to find inhaled painkillers that would be less smelly and flammable than ether and have fewer side effects. It was an unusual twist on the standard gentleman’s routine of after-dinner drinks, Simpson and his assistants, George Keith and Matthew Duncan finally got round to testing chloroform on the advice of Dr Waldie of Liverpool. It had been used before but not on a regular basis, the three men were poured a quantity into a glass and they each raised their glasses to their noses, and breathed in deeply. A sweet smell filled the air, and the younger physicians became lively and talkative.

“This is far better and stronger than ether,” Simpson thought. The next he knew, he was looking up at the ceiling, with noise and confusion all around. Duncan had collapsed under a chair, snoring loudly, and Keith lay on his back under the table, kicking it violently despite his unconsciousness. After gradually waking up and struggling back into their seats, the doctors were eager to experiment again—though more cautiously this time. Other family members watched these remarkable events. After inhaling the chloroform herself, Simpson’s niece-in-law called out, “I’m an angel! Oh, I’m an angel!” before folding her arms and falling asleep at the table. The group continued to sniff the chloroform until it all evaporated.

The experiment was a grand success, and Simpson and his colleagues lost no time in having large supplies of chloroform manufactured to use on their patients. Its use spread rapidly, as it was easy to obtain and administer and less harsh in its effects than ether. Simpson wrote extensively in defense of the substance, countering doctors and clergymen who argued that pain was necessary for the body and ordained by the Bible. He delivered one of his pithiest ripostes in an 1848 exchange with “an Irish lady.” She chastised him by saying “how unnatural it is for you doctors in Edinburgh to take away the pains of your patients when in labour.” He responded, “How unnatural … is it for you to have swam over from Ireland to Scotland against wind and tide in a steamboat.” For Simpson and his supporters relieving pain was as great an innovation as steam power. Both inventions seemed to prove 19th-century ideas about boundless technological progress and the perfectibility of humankind.

Nevertheless, objections to anesthesia—especially when used for women in labor—continued. Soon, however, chloroform received an unexpected supporter. Queen Victoria and her consort Prince Albert requested the compound for the birth of their eighth child, Prince Leopold, in 1853. John Snow administered the drug, using a few drops on a simple handkerchief rather than the inhalers and masks then on the market. The queen, who remained conscious throughout the procedure, recorded in her journal that the effect was “soothing, quieting, delightful beyond measure.” She received the drug again in 1857 for the birth of Princess Beatrice, her ninth and last child. When her oldest daughter Princess Victoria had her own first child in 1859, the queen rejoiced, “What a blessing she had chloroform.”

If you want to have some idea of how things are going in our household, here is the Saga of getting my child his medication.

My youngest child has reactive airway disease (aka it's asthma but he's too young for them to perform the tests to give him an official diagnosis). He has been to the emergency room at least once a year since he was 1, and was hospitalized at 14 months old because he couldn't breathe.

We've determined that his asthma is activated when he gets respiratory illnesses, so we try to keep him from getting sick. But with my spouse working in the office 4-5 days a week, my oldest child in kindergarten, and my youngest now in preschool, we get sick all the time. So it's critically important that he takes his daily asthma medication, Flovent (fluticasone). When he's sick, he has to take additional doses of it every day in addition to albuterol.

Earlier in 2023, when I went to pick up his medication at our local CVS, they had some bad news for me. Our insurance only covered the brand name Flovent inhaler, not the generic fluticasone. Okay, I said. That's a little silly because I assume it costs them more money to cover the brand name than the generic, but it's their decision. But CVS policy is that if there exists a generic version of a medication, they can only fill the generic version. So, my options were 1) pay out of pocket for the generic fluticasone inhaler or 2) get a new prescription from our pediatrician that stated "brand name only" and then come back and pick it up and have it be covered.

We had enough puffs left on the inhaler that we opted for the second choice. Within a day, our pediatrician had sent over the new script, CVS filled it, and we were all set.

A couple of months ago, however, we got a letter from our insurance company. Starting January 1, 2024, they would no longer be covering brand name Flovent. Instead, they "suggested" we switch to the generic fluticasone, which they would now cover. GSK, the manufacturer of Flovent, would be discontinuing the product, hence the switch. So I assumed this meant in January, we would need a new prescription for the inhaler that did allow for the generic. There was nothing in the letter that suggested I needed to do anything else.

Earlier in December, we were running out of Flovent. I called in the prescription to CVS and went to pick it up the next day. Sorry, they said, we don't have the inhaler in stock. I was told that it was on the way and that they would fill it when it came in. Okay, fine, we have puffs left, we can wait. But a week later, it still wasn't in. The day after that, it still wasn't in. What was going on?

On my most recent visit to the pharmacy, I lucked out. One of the pharmacists overheard the conversation I was having with the technician. He interrupted to explain that there would be no restock. The reason they had no Flovent was because the manufacturer had already discontinued the drug. If the pharmacy was out of the drug, it was out of the drug forever.

So here I am, out of Flovent for my asthmatic child who already had spent Thanksgiving in the ER. I have a prescription for it, but it's for the brand name only; even if the generic is already covered, the prescription is for brand name only, so I can't just get the generic. Tomorrow is Saturday, Christmas Eve.

It's New Year's Eve tomorrow. My pediatrician has sent the prescription over to CVS twice in that time. They haven't gotten it. She sent it to the clinic's pharmacy as well. THEY haven't gotten it.

Anyway, happy new year!

Tinctures can also be added to food and drinks or used topically. They are available from a recreational weed store and delivery in DC or a recreational dispensary in DC.

Hey y’all! I am once again in health insurance hell. Details below the read more, because I ranted a little bit and it was getting a little long, but long story short: Please send me either ideas of plushies to design or concepts you’d like me to explain the way I’d explain them to a small child. I’ve done that part before, I think I tagged it “tj explains things to toddlers”. It can be a fun challenge for me and I just want to stop thinking about health insurance for a while lol

  I wanted to get a second rescue inhaler*, because my old ones are out of date, and I’d prefer to have two unexpired rescue inhalers so I can keep one in my purse downstairs and one by my bed, and my new health insurance won’t cover it! It’s $500 without insurance!! And that’s with the manufacturer coupon!!! I have until October before my current rescue inhaler expires, but still! I ended up having to physically go to my doctor’s office to get them to fill out a form to try and get my insurance to cover my inhaler because the phone tree at my doctor’s office is broken and will just hang up on you.  *my rescue inhaler is not actually a rescue inhaler, because I have what my doctor called “an adverse reaction” and what I call a “hey that summoned ALL the nurses EXTREMELY quickly” reaction to both albuterol and levalbuterol, the two main rescue inhaler medications. In most people the increase in heart rate from using the rescue inhaler is minimal, like less than 10 bpm if anything, but in me it was 80+ bpm increase and I found out if you gasp out “I can’t see” while wheezing you get EVERY nurse in the urgent care running to you very fast. My “rescue inhaler” is actually Atrovent, an inhaler for the treatment of COPD that works well enough for me to get away from whatever is causing my asthma attack and/or put on a filter mask, and since I have weird asthma it works for me.

Is It Illegal to Take Drugs? Understanding Drug Laws

Drug laws in Australia can often be complex and vary depending on the type of substance, state legislation, and the specific activities involved. Many people wonder if it’s illegal simply to take drugs, or if the crime lies in possessing them. While drug possession laws are generally strict across Australia, understanding how these laws are enforced, and the legal distinctions around drug use, possession, and distribution, is essential for staying informed.

Key Differences: Drug Use vs. Drug Possession

In Australia, there is a legal difference between using drugs, possessing drugs, and trafficking drugs. Here’s what each term typically means under Australian law:

Drug Use: Ingesting, inhaling, or injecting a drug.

Drug Possession: Having drugs in one’s physical control, like in a pocket or bag, even if they aren’t actively being used.

Drug Trafficking: Selling, distributing, or manufacturing drugs for sale to others.

Is It Illegal to Take Drugs?

The legality of simply taking drugs (or being found under the influence) varies by state, but in most cases, being under the influence of an illicit substance is illegal, especially in public spaces. In some regions, using drugs privately may not necessarily lead to criminal charges, but this doesn’t mean it’s permitted or without potential legal consequences.

For instance:

In Public: If someone is found to be under the influence of drugs in public, they can face legal penalties, including fines or arrest.

In Private: Drug use in private can still have repercussions if the police become involved, especially if it’s linked to disturbances, medical emergencies, or other incidents.

In many cases, law enforcement focuses on possession or evidence of possession when it comes to taking drugs.

Is Drug Possession Illegal?

Yes, drug possession is illegal across all Australian states and territories. Possession is defined as having an illegal drug in one’s control, whether it’s found on their person, in their vehicle, or within any of their personal belongings. In most instances, possession charges are clear-cut if drugs are physically found on someone. It is often the focus of police investigations rather than use alone.

The penalties for possession vary depending on the drug type, quantity, and previous offenses but can include:

Fines

Community service

Court appearances

Incarceration, especially in cases involving repeat offenses or large amounts

Drug Possession vs. Personal Use Quantities

When it comes to drug possession, Australian law differentiates between possession for personal use and possession for trafficking or distribution purposes. Each state has specific thresholds for quantities that separate personal use from intent to distribute. If someone is caught with a quantity of drugs exceeding the legal threshold, they may face more severe trafficking charges.

For example:

Small Amounts (for Personal Use): Often result in lesser penalties, sometimes community service or fines.

Larger Amounts (Indicating Trafficking): Lead to more serious consequences, such as imprisonment and significant fines.

It’s crucial to note that thresholds vary by state, so what might be considered a “personal use” quantity in one state could result in trafficking charges in another.

Legal Consequences of Drug Use and Possession in Australia

Penalties for drug use and possession vary by state and territory:

New South Wales (NSW): Police have the option to issue warnings for small quantities, but larger quantities can lead to criminal charges.

Victoria: In addition to penalties for possession, there are initiatives for drug diversion programs aimed at rehabilitation instead of criminalization.

Queensland: Drug possession is taken seriously, and possession of even small amounts can lead to a criminal record, with certain diversion programs available for first-time offenders.

Western Australia (WA): WA has stringent drug laws, and possession can lead to fines, arrest, or mandatory rehabilitation.

While the specifics vary, all states have implemented drug diversion programs that focus on treatment for first-time, low-level offenders. These programs aim to rehabilitate individuals rather than imposing criminal charges, but eligibility and program availability depend on the state and the circumstances of the offense.

Diversion Programs: An Alternative to Criminal Charges

Many states offer drug diversion programs for low-level or first-time offenders. These programs allow individuals found with small quantities of drugs to undergo counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation instead of facing criminal charges.

Benefits: These programs aim to reduce repeat offenses, encourage treatment, and lower court case backlogs.

Eligibility: Diversion is typically offered to those found with small amounts of drugs and no history of drug-related criminal activity.

Drugs Commonly Prosecuted for Possession in Australia

Australia has strict classifications for different drugs, with penalties varying based on the type and quantity. Commonly prosecuted drugs include:

Cannabis: Some states have lenient policies for small quantities intended for personal use, while others impose fines or mandate treatment.

Amphetamines (including Methamphetamine): Highly illegal with severe penalties due to their classification as dangerous drugs.

Ecstasy (MDMA): Treated as a Schedule 1 drug, with penalties that vary widely across states.

Cocaine: Possession leads to serious charges and penalties across all states.

The possession and use of prescription drugs without a valid prescription, like opioids or benzodiazepines, can also lead to criminal charges.

In Australia, both drug use and possession can carry legal consequences, with possession being the primary focus of law enforcement efforts. While some states offer diversion programs for minor offenses, anyone facing drug charges should understand the law and, if necessary, seek legal advice. Staying informed about the legal implications and potential programs for drug offenses can provide options for rehabilitation and reduced penalties, aligning with Australian law’s focus on both prevention and accountability.

Queensland: Drug possession is taken seriously, and possession of even small amounts can lead to a criminal record, with certain diversion programs available for first-time offenders.

Western Australia (WA): WA has stringent drug laws, and possession can lead to fines, arrest, or mandatory rehabilitation.

While the specifics vary, all states have implemented drug diversion programs that focus on treatment for first-time, low-level offenders. These programs aim to rehabilitate individuals rather than imposing criminal charges, but eligibility and program availability depend on the state and the circumstances of the offense.

Diversion Programs: An Alternative to Criminal Charges

Many states offer drug diversion programs for low-level or first-time offenders. These programs allow individuals found with small quantities of drugs to undergo counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation instead of facing criminal charges.

Benefits: These programs aim to reduce repeat offenses, encourage treatment, and lower court case backlogs.

Eligibility: Diversion is typically offered to those found with small amounts of drugs and no history of drug-related criminal activity.

Drugs Commonly Prosecuted for Possession in Australia

Australia has strict classifications for different drugs, with penalties varying based on the type and quantity. Commonly prosecuted drugs include:

Cannabis: Some states have lenient policies for small quantities intended for personal use, while others impose fines or mandate treatment.

Amphetamines (including Methamphetamine): Highly illegal with severe penalties due to their classification as dangerous drugs.

Ecstasy (MDMA): Treated as a Schedule 1 drug, with penalties that vary widely across states.

Cocaine: Possession leads to serious charges and penalties across all states.

The possession and use of prescription drugs without a valid prescription, like opioids or benzodiazepines, can also lead to criminal charges.

In Australia, both drug use and possession can carry legal consequences, with possession being the primary focus of law enforcement efforts. While some states offer diversion programs for minor offenses, anyone facing drug charges should understand the law and, if necessary, seek legal advice. Staying informed about the legal implications and potential programs for drug offenses can provide options for rehabilitation and reduced penalties, aligning with Australian law’s focus on both prevention and accountability.

Is It Illegal to Take Drugs? Understanding Drug Laws

Drug laws in Australia can often be complex and vary depending on the type of substance, state legislation, and the specific activities involved. Many people wonder if it’s illegal simply to take drugs, or if the crime lies in possessing them. While drug possession laws are generally strict across Australia, understanding how these laws are enforced, and the legal distinctions around drug use, possession, and distribution, is essential for staying informed.

Key Differences: Drug Use vs. Drug Possession

In Australia, there is a legal difference between using drugs, possessing drugs, and trafficking drugs. Here’s what each term typically means under Australian law:

Drug Use: Ingesting, inhaling, or injecting a drug.

Drug Possession: Having drugs in one’s physical control, like in a pocket or bag, even if they aren’t actively being used.

Drug Trafficking: Selling, distributing, or manufacturing drugs for sale to others.

Is It Illegal to Take Drugs?

The legality of simply taking drugs (or being found under the influence) varies by state, but in most cases, being under the influence of an illicit substance is illegal, especially in public spaces. In some regions, using drugs privately may not necessarily lead to criminal charges, but this doesn’t mean it’s permitted or without potential legal consequences.

For instance:

In Public: If someone is found to be under the influence of drugs in public, they can face legal penalties, including fines or arrest.

In Private: Drug use in private can still have repercussions if the police become involved, especially if it’s linked to disturbances, medical emergencies, or other incidents.

In many cases, law enforcement focuses on possession or evidence of possession when it comes to taking drugs.

Is Drug Possession Illegal?

Yes, drug possession is illegal across all Australian states and territories. Possession is defined as having an illegal drug in one’s control, whether it’s found on their person, in their vehicle, or within any of their personal belongings. In most instances, possession charges are clear-cut if drugs are physically found on someone. It is often the focus of police investigations rather than use alone.

The penalties for possession vary depending on the drug type, quantity, and previous offenses but can include:

Fines

Community service

Court appearances

Incarceration, especially in cases involving repeat offenses or large amounts

Drug Possession vs. Personal Use Quantities

When it comes to drug possession, Australian law differentiates between possession for personal use and possession for trafficking or distribution purposes. Each state has specific thresholds for quantities that separate personal use from intent to distribute. If someone is caught with a quantity of drugs exceeding the legal threshold, they may face more severe trafficking charges.

For example:

Small Amounts (for Personal Use): Often result in lesser penalties, sometimes community service or fines.

Larger Amounts (Indicating Trafficking): Lead to more serious consequences, such as imprisonment and significant fines.

It’s crucial to note that thresholds vary by state, so what might be considered a “personal use” quantity in one state could result in trafficking charges in another.

Legal Consequences of Drug Use and Possession in Australia

Penalties for drug use and possession vary by state and territory:

New South Wales (NSW): Police have the option to issue warnings for small quantities, but larger quantities can lead to criminal charges.

Victoria: In addition to penalties for possession, there are initiatives for drug diversion programs aimed at rehabilitation instead of criminalization.
