hello new followers and welcome! a little about me, 4 years ago, i was intubated with severe breakthrough #covid i had a #stroke and i am currently #disabled and doing my best to recover i read a looooot of #books and i like to post and talk about themas well as other random stuff i hope you enjoy following me and vice versa

tl;dr — If you're switching jobs or have had a "qualifying event", choose literally any #healthinsurance provide that isn't Aetna.

#Aetna has repeatedly denied my prior auth for a life-changing (and potentially life-saving) drug, one that had been covered for over a year on Anthem. Aetna's reason? I'm only eligible if I've previously had a #heartattack or #stroke — events that this drug would help prevent.

Let the cynicism of that sink in for a moment.

Essentially, Aetna demands that I give my condition a chance to kill me before they'll grudgingly agree to pay for the thing that could've helped me survive.

That isn't just greedy: it's wrong. And I will be sharing that observation and the rest of our interactions with the state insurance board.

My better half just came in to see me in the #bedroom.

She’s been #working from her home office.

“I think I might be having a #stroke!”

“Why?! What’s wrong!?”

“I keep thinking I can smell #onions! That’s a sign…”

Then I held up a bag of onions I’ve been slicing in preparation for a long slow cooked #dinner.

“Oh!! That explains that then.”
