Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

On Thursday, Sharon^* spent 6 hours in the emergency room with severe chest pains.

It turned out that it was her long-standing problems with acid reflux, so it was not a heart attack, it was heart burn.

Well, because of Sharon's^* sensitivities, allergies, and odd interactions between her body chemistry and drugs, there is currently only one drug on the market, the proton pump inhibitor Dexilant, on the market which can address this.

She's tried all the other ones, and they don't work, but the insurance company drones have decided that it's a good idea to deny the authorization to save a few bucks.

We are appealing.

How many f$#@ing trips to the ER with symptoms of a heart attack, which they cover at 100% does it take to wipe out any savings?

Well, let me give you a hint,we have already blown through that with the first trip to the ER.

Not enough bullets.

^*Love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed, my wife.
