hillbilly oracle

insurance just informed me that in 15 days the price of this med goes from $25 for 3 months to

-drumroll-

$700 for 3 months

They just don't want to cover it anymore so they can just do that to me

I...am trying very hard not to feel suicidal given what this condition has done to me. I can't go back that.

"Just switch to one of these other "preferred" meds" - gross, just say cheaper you absolute cowards. because famously birth control works so reliably and regularly for everyone and people never have side effects or issues when switching to other types. Oh look these others you mentioned are different formulations all together, have different miss/skip windows, and have higher risks for clotting - but hey they're cheaper for us so fuck you.

as a buddhist I try really hard not to hate but I don't know how to not hate the people who make these decisions right now, I really don't, that's beyond my level of practice right now

I just want to scream
