Of course, I definitely didnt mean to minimize the issue. It really is insane there's all these ridicululous middlemen and compromises that add to whatever condition as a threat to people's health
Nah I didn’t read your original comment as minimizing it, but rather saw it as someone who might not be from the USA. It sounded like genuine shock to how life-saving meds could just be flat-out denied for somebody.
Thats very insightful and correct, altho we don't have universal coverage here either (yet) and I've done this process several times. There are people who try once and give up and I just want people to be aware of what parallel structures or processes might be available to help give that a second look
