- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 4 days ago:
I just went through this battle myself. And my insurance even approved it, but I’m traveling overseas for two months and even though they tell me my benefit covers a “vacation override” they wouldn’t approve it.
I asked the pharmacy how much it would cost to pay out of pocket. $1300 for 4 weeks, so $2600 to cover my trip.
Luckily my Dr was able to give me “samples” to get me through my trip.
Also, another thing that I learned in the past year. What your insurance will cover and how much they’ll cover changes depending on your history.
Spend a three day weekend in the ER/ICU and suddenly I DO need Ozempic and they’re giving me thousands of dollars worth of CGMs for free.
It’s all a cost/benefit analysis for them.

- Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates? 1 week ago:
Every election year is the year you should vote for “other candidates” in the primaries.
That is how you work to reshape a party you’re not happy with.
Luckily primary season is here now so go make your voice heard!

- Comment on Is it wiser to store one savings in Gold as superior to the average bank/savings accounts nominal interest? 2 months ago:
This is going to depend a lot on where you are.
In Thailand for example, you’ll find there are a half dozen gold shops at every grocery store that will happily liquidate your gold at a moments notice a price determined by the current gold spot rate.

- Comment on Crosslinking posts from Mastodon -> PieFed or Lemmy 3 months ago:
That’s really helpful to know.
It wasn’t the case in my situation though.
The post was in /c/historyruins@piefed.social and the hashtag I follow is #thailand.
- Comment on Crosslinking posts from Mastodon -> PieFed or Lemmy 3 months ago:
I’ve seen a piefed user’s posts show up in my mastodon feed. Near as I can tell, after asking them, it wasn’t intentional on their part, but they used a hashtag in their piefed post that I was subscribed to on mastodon and that was what caused it to get pulled in.
It was especially confusing at first because neither my mastodon client nor my Lemmy/piefed client displayed the hashtag.
I don’t think this answered your question but thought you might find the info useful.

He wants that sweet sweet Nobel peace prize and a lasting place in the history books. Probably why he wanted the Commanders stadium named after him too.
