Dog insurer: 'jumping, running, slipping, tripping, playing' not covered (2016)

I have personally seen women struggle to get birth control with health insurance. I have also had to sue medical practitioners in the past for fraudulent billing. I have also seen people be unable to buy life-saving drugs because of an insurance hiccup.

The American health insurance industry is completely fucked if you think it has anything to do with providing healthcare and isn't entirely about maximizing profits for the inner circle. People are literally dying because we have the least efficient health insurance system in the world. And it's designed that way because some people are getting ridiculously wealthy from other people's pain and suffering.

Then check with your state's attorney general. In many states, insurance companies are required to provide it at no cost. Certainly in the last three states in which I've lived.

If it's not required in your state, then contact your legislators and try to get a law passed.
