I open a comm to post, and I forget what fucking comm I’m in and have to double check so I know what to look for - sometimes two or three times. Immensely irritating. This is how I’ve operated most of my life, but it’s especially frustrating now that I know it’s not how it has to fucking be. Flowers for Algernon over here.
Fucking American healthcare. “At least we’re not Canada, you might have to wait for important care!” The fuck am I doing right now, then?
If you don’t mind me asking: How did you manage to be required to pay that much for your health insurance? That seems unreasonable (unless you’re pretty well off).
Also, if Medikinet isn’t available where you are, what’s your pharmacist to do? They didn’t just decide on a whim to give your son some other med and they’ll have told you the reasons.
It’s 17% of income, capped at 1.1k, including nursing care insurance. So it sounds like you need to make good money, before you even reach the 1.1k. But the problem is that you can’t write off a lot here. E. g. I pay for my own meds, doctor and therapy entirely out of pocked, since I can’t get appointments in my insurance network, which is an additional 600 per month. And that is not a write-off, so it doesn’t reduce taxes or the 1.1k insurance. Also, you can get unlucky with other things. I have a child, but they said there was a formal error with the city-run daycare receipt, so they counted daycare costs at 0 for calculating taxes.
So what I expect is that they move heaven and hell to make the 40 cent pill for my son available, even on a health ministry level.
