  • The extra ridiculous thing is how they deny services that a doctor says are medically necessary… and not even in a reasonable way, in an abusive way. Like the system that automatically denies 60,000 things an hour or whatever, and count on people wasting tons of time to challenge it. Or when they have an ophthalmologist review your kidney disease and say that some treatment isn’t warranted. And that’s even after you’ve paid your stupid deductible costs for the year.

  • A unit is a unit, so the dosages are the same. What varies is onset curve and length of action, so timing.

  • The subs would be R and NPH, not the old mixed formulas like 70/30.

  • The old formulas you can buy OTC for $25 are more inconvenient to use, but will indeed keep you from dying. The main difference between the R insulin and Novolog/Humalog are how quickly they act. Novolog starts lowering your glucose in about 60 minutes while the R takes 2 hours. Dietary management is not related to which insulin you’re using, at least for type 1. The long acting substitute, NPH, is a lot more difficult to use than Lantus though. It still works. I ran out of good insulin on a trip last year and had to sub the R and NPH and did have some issues with hypoglycemia. I’m more qualified to swap them on my own than many people though (lots of people are not informed enough to change their dosage without professional medical advice).

    So yes, the claim that OOP’s only alternative to paying $800 was to die is not true.

  • There, he's smiling because he knows what he's saying is racist bullshit, which is more his style.

  • Trump Finally Reveals His Health Care Plan—and It’s Bad

    Jump

  • and yeah, if you have this balance, and can ONLY spend it on health insurance... okay, the basic plan costs exactly as much as the government gives everyone. There's no advantage in spending less since you can't use it for anything else.

    Troomp is stupid enough to not see how idiotic that is, but other people in his criminal cabinet are not.

  • They’re gonna feel like entrepreneurs

    Just what I want - to have to expend a bunch of time and expertise that I don't have to try to buy healthcare.

    They’re actually gonna be able to go out and negotiate their own health insurance

    Perfect, that's my specialty! I love reading tons of insurance policy details written in confusing legal jargon. The American people are going to thrive with this and for sure beat the big bad DEMORCAT RUN insurance companies.

  • Why are all "doctors" on youtube full of shit?

    Jump

  • There are a few, particularly in the psych field, who make good videos sharing reliable information. I think overall, good doctors have better things to do than make videos. And unless it’s something like heart health or exercise that very general and applicable to abroad audience,it’s unlikely a video will get enough views to make them much money. I wonder whether there also might be legal questions. So what’s the point?

  • Hail Corporate!

  • Wow, that’s so cool OP that you think we should be allowed to use apple products

  • Are people even licensed anymore?

  • Haha. Always, if there’s someone driving really dumbly I have to take a glance at them when I go by.
