grrr

So, the weight loss is going good but I am way too angry to talk about it. I hope being enraged burns calories.

I visited my local Walgreens today to fill my monthly pills.
I had a brand spanking new insurance card that was burning a hole in my wallet and I couldn't wait to sign up so I could get some rewards for all of this hard work I do monday - friday. So, I gave them my card and the prescription was filled (many other ridiculous things happened but that will only detract from the main story). I look at the little screen about to swipe my card thru and I see a big '0l $50.00 staring back at me. Whoa whoa whoa I say to the pharmacist...50 bucks?! Last month it was 30! I was surprised to say the least...mainly because this was supposed to be the better insurance plan. The gold standard of insurance, and I paid less on my former plan.

So, the pharmacist or Pharmacistoleer as I like to call them double checked all the info and said that I should definitely call the insurance company when I get back to find out what's going on cause going from 30-50 on a better plan seems absurd. So I walked back to work knowing full well that these things are very rarely a mistake and that I was going to get screwed. I got back and told my boss, who happens to also be the HR guy and the guys that sets this stuff up, what happened. He looks on the paperwork and sees that the breakdown is 10/25/40 for generic/something else/ something else. So we think that it should at least be 40 at the most. So he calls the insurance company and speaks with a women and we eventually find out that they just raised their rates...on that one specific tier of prescription drugs...the one tier where guess what? my prescription lies smack in the middle of. so now I am paying $50 to keep me from having a baby that I am woefully unready for and my insurance is paying $6.99. How's that for a kick in the fucking mouth?

So the fact that I have to PAY for something that helps everyone involved including society pisses me off to no end. The fact that I can get my migraine medicine (that has NARCOTICS in it) for $10 pisses me off. But the kicker...the thing that enrages me TO THE CORE is that if my DICK were broken and I couldn't have 75 year old sex with my 35 year old wife I could get those pills for free. Yes free. My doctor would be shoving those little blue bitches down my throat like there is no tomorrow. But I don't have a dick let alone a broken one...so guess what?

I get screwed every month until I can't afford it anymore...then I can't get screwed.
