health insurance that covers everything except the one thing you actually need

waited 6 weeks for a GP appointment. was told to 'drink more water and reduce stress.'

Six weeks. Half a day off work. She looked at me for approximately 40 seconds. The prescription was 'water and less stress.' I have specific, persistent symptoms I described in detail. She had already typed the next patient's name.

being told to 'try mindfulness' for a physical problem is the medical equivalent of turning it off and on again

gyms make signing up delightful and cancellation essentially illegal

Everyone on social media is an idiot when it comes to health recommendations

It’s impossible to get real information on diets/health/workouts bc everyone is trying to be an influencer and it’s so cringe

healthcare is broken

trying to pay for my meds and the insurance company is being a nightmare

spent 2 hours waiting in line at the doctor's office today

this is what happens when you prioritize corporate profits over human health

my pharmacy has been understaffed for so long that calling them is just not a thing anymore

i stood in line for 20 minutes to ask a question that should have been a 30-second phone call. they had 3 people for 200 prescriptions.

called my insurance's customer service and got a bot that said my problem was 'resolved' three times

the problem: i cannot afford the bill. the resolution: you can pay online or by phone. this is not a resolution.

i paid $450/month in premiums and my $15 prescription was denied as 'not medically necessary'

my doctor prescribed it. it is, by definition, medically necessary. who is the insurance company's medical director and why do they get to override my physician.

insurance denied my MRI. my doctor appealed. denied again. now i just live with the symptoms.

the person who denied it has never seen me, doesn't know my history, and will never be accountable for this decision.

all streaming services jacking up their prices...again

at this point, idk what's the point of even having them....why do streaming services think we're made of money? seriously? at this point, ngl, i might as well sail the seven seas or go back to cable

doctors always dismiss my health concerns

told 'it's just anxiety' after describing real symptoms for years

can't trust the scale at planet fitness

weights kept fluctuating by 5 pounds randomly

another fake test result from aetna health insurance

scott bessent's tariffs are killing my garden

cant get any decent seeds or tools because of the tariffs, guess i'll just have to stick to eating plain rice

why do hospitals still use ancient software

i had to wait 2 hours for my doctor to get my test results because their system crashed

healthcare got more expensive again

just paid $1500 in copays for a routine checkup. how are people supposed to afford healthcare in this country?

doctors just love prescribing me unnecessary tests

spent 500 dollars last year on 'recommended' procedures that turned out to be totally normal... can't even get a straight answer from them on how to prevent this

today's blood test $200 out of pocket

i just got charged 200 for tests that should be covered... why isn't insurance helping?

ex got $3,500 in medical bills, and now i do

ex's 'emergency' was a $2,000 tattoo. meanwhile my actual surgery is still unpaid

health insurance is a joke

i had to wait 6 months for a doctor's appointment and then my prescription costs are still crazy high

healthcare is a scam

my copay for a specialist appointment is $200. the appointment is free. but the copay is 'essential for the doctor's overhead'. what even?

why is it so hard to find healthy food at reasonable prices anymore?

i saw a jar of plain yogurt for $17.99 at my local market
