I love when insurance companies think you just take specific meds for shits and giggles--oh, and to cost them money, of course. Nah, the drugs you take to keep yourself alive are entirely optional and can be discontinued whenever the insurance doesn't feel like paying for them anymore.
And yet I'm lucky enough to have the recourse of being from a white middle-class family that has the resources to bail me out if it comes down to it. My Lamictal-starved brain wants to feel sorry for itself right now, but I can hardly bitch when I compare myself to the millions of Americans who would never have had the luxury of seeing a doctor to prescribe the med in the first place.
Call me a communist if you will...but am I the only one who seems something just a tad fucked up about this??
