| Monthly refill authorization is simultaneously the craziest thing I’ve heard and also so characteristically on theme for US health insurance I didn’t doubt it for a second. Hey this is Blue Cross, does Bill still need insulin this month? Yea, he has type 1 diabetes, it’s a chronic and lifelong condition he will need insulin every month. Cool, cool, we will check back in next month to see if he needs more. Do you expect me to come up with a cure for type 1 diabetes by next month? No, that would be ridiculous. Well why check every month? In case he doesn’t need it anymore. How would that happen? Hmm.... good point, we can talk about it more next month when we check in to see if Bill needs more insulin. head slamming into desk sound |
