Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?
  • If you fail to run the gauntlet, or give up in frustration, the insurance company doesn't have to pay. They could absolutely make this process easier, but the incompetence works in their favor.

    I've lived in single payer countries as well as in the US, and the incompetence is the same everywhere. In my experience the big difference is in universal healthcare countries the rules are very strictly defined and there's very little scope for exceptions, so either you qualify or you don't. The other issue is that even if you qualify there's often a multi-month waiting list for treatment.

  • Donald Trump has a big problem ahead
  • Remember that he didn't actually try to overthrow democracy until after the 2020 election. There are plenty of other reasons not to vote for him, but I can understand how for some people that could be the last straw.

  • You're not actually that slow, are you? Just because the side effects have the same names doesn't mean they're in any way comparable. If you actually read any of the trial reports you'd know the side effects they described were crippling.

    Hormonal pills have horrible side effects for some women, but for millions of women around the world the benefits well outweigh the side effects. If you did any of this reading you claimed to do you'd know that wasn't the case with the male trials at all.

  • Male pill: The scientist working on 'progress for humanity'
  • You have absolutely no idea if the side effects are comparable between male and female birth control pills. Nobody does. Maybe stop to consider the that side effects might be really bad, before just invalidating the experience of all those who have tested it?
