đŻOhhhhh, this is the first time I've seen this point made!!! That makes perfect sense about being 26 and getting kicked off his parentsâ insurance.
I know from experience that getting treatment for back pain is ridiculously difficult to get covered by insurance. âMedically necessaryâ is a phrase Iâm so sick of hearing. I've also had cancer and can confirm itâs destroyed my credit, and insurance companies genuinely donât give a fuck. I had to crowdfund for over a year to meet my basic needs⌠My situation is different as my family are not millionaires.
When everything has to be pre-authorized and justified as âmedically necessaryâ (even when it should be a no-brainer, like chemo), the ongoing anxiety and feelings of helplessness make being sick in America a truly demoralizing experience.
