(90,662 posts)What we have is a generic "Fuck Obama he's teh evil" post, and I for one have a hard time parsing out what actually happened and what alternatives were tried.
I do know that my husband reads his company-offered insurance plan's fine print every year so there will be no surprises.
We've known what a formulary is for at least 25 years, because some of our meds (especially mine) are routinely denied every single year. My primary doc is sick of countersigning the letter I keep on file in my computer testifying in excruciating detail what side effects are caused by my taking a particular cheap generic, but I print it out and he faxes it from his office with his own note. Every year.
If at first you don't succeed, keep trying. Keep notes in a file, with dates and contact info.
I'm going to get put on ignore for this, or flamed, but the OP married a woman with a severe, chronic, and progressive disease. My sympathies are with them both. But it means he signed up for a lifetime of reading the fine print and doing the research. I wish them both all the best, but Obama is not teh evil because of it.
