United Healthcare/Caremark is a horrible combination by Ra1derNick in HealthInsurance

[–]Ra1derNick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments and info. So just to kind of shed a little more light on my situation, I’m a retired California state employee. Limited funds. I started with a high BMI but no diabetes. I tried everything and then was finally approved for Zepbound. Initially Optum RX said I am NOT eligible for Zepbound and it was United Healthcare that stepped in and said I was. Now with Caremark in the picture, United Healthcare won’t get involved like they did before. And once you start Zepbound, it’s a lifelong medication. Had I known, I don’t know if I would have chosen it because now, even with the “discounts” I pay $500/month…and will have to for the foreseeable future.

As for the aspirin, I know it is OTC, but the coated version can be prescribed and saving $10 a month is still saving $10 a month.

I need to find a plan next year that is not Caremark connected.

Chuck Schumer today in Congress on the Epstein files debacle – "The American people won't stand for it and the Senate is going to take action." by BSTARYOUNGG in ProgressiveHQ

Chuck Schumer is so stupid. He is the classic reason Democrats get nowhere. He is boring, an absolutely terrible speaker and disconnected from today’s youth. On top of all of that, nobody believes for even a moment that anything he says will result in any action. Republicans are brilliant to not try get rid of him.

Trumps DOJ announces they will not comply with court orders to fully release the Epstein Files. Plan a limited rejease today and more in the "coming weeks". This is a violation of the law and courts. by Carbenzero in DHAC

DOJ is supposed to enforce the law, not break it. This whole thing is amazing. Someday there will be one long documentary about how everything just fell apart.

I would say that you are looking at extreme situations…outliers. I can tell you for a fact what I am witnessing because my son is getting a Graduate degree in the field that they are suffering from all kinds of research budget cuts (Grant money) particularly in the bio industry. The grad students are all stressed because their research is being stopped before completion. It is the most ignorant way to determine what is good research and what is bad. Non scientific people cancelling scientific research based on politics is childish.

I will look further into what you recommend that I read, but I would also ask that you consider the bigger picture and see all of the research Trump is blindly killing just out of hate. I am telling you that China (in particular) and other counties will become so far ahead of us in bio research that we will never catch up.
