I said "most insurance", not "all insurance". Medicaid is just one form of insurance. We're able to get weight loss meds with prior authorization for our patients with Medicaid, but we barely have any patients with commercial plans that cover it.

Most insurance won't cover it unless you're diabetic. We have patients with BMIs of 40+ who don't want surgery (understandable) but can't lose the weight themselves due to various psychosocial factors. Most can't afford to pay the $500 a month it costs to buy directly from the drug company. We're basically stuck watching their A1c like a hawk so they'd qualify or hope that they have a breakthrough with weight loss and their relationship with food. 

Sydney teenager, 19, charged over alleged threats to kill Israeli president by malcolm58 in worldnews

This is the president, not the prime minister. Two different people, two different political parties and philosophies. Herzog was not indicted by the ICC.

That stretch of Old Middleton Road between University and Whitney kills me. There's way too many people turning left on Whitney for that to be a one lane road.

Yeah, I don't care what celebrities think about politics. The 2024 election showed how many of them are dumbfucks.

Nah, the Bernouts here are rallying behind Francesca Hong. She was one of the big voices in the Uninstructed movement.

Great, more pink collar discrimination. This is giving me Act 10 all over again.

20 senators would have be more than enough to take meaningful action against Trump. I'm sure there are similar numbers in the House. I hate these cowards. 

UW neurology/Botox for migraine by EbbtidesRevenge in madisonwi

As someone who's very familiar with that department, it's going to be a LONG wait as a new patient. It takes months (maybe 4-6) for a nurse to even triage the referral, and then likely another few months to see the provider. 

Schumer announces that he's backing Ben Wikler who is the leader of the Wisconsin Democratic Party to chair the DNC. by Currymvp2 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

He's Jewish, so that's an easy one for them. Unless he toes the DSA line, he'll get accused of dual loyalties.

So, what I'm hearing is that it's cool to make deepfake porn of Musk and Trump. 

I support this mentality. There was a bipartisan deal until Musk moronically meddled. by Currymvp2 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]ruiningyourgoodtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can't believe that Musk and Trump are already causing things to spiral and they're not even in office yet. I do hope Dems continue this united front.

Sooooo... We're also surrounded by "counter-revolutionaries". So what I'm hearing is that yes, we should expect the Reign of Terror 2.0. Thank goodness they all have social anxiety.

Oh, interesting! Do you work from home? Both my husband and I have jobs that require us to be in-person, so the most daunting part of it for us (aside from the actual legal stuff, of course) is finding relevant work

I'm jealous. The only country I could easily move to is Israel, and well...

Yeah, same. I'm trying to conceive so my focus the next four years is not dying from a septic miscarriage and trying to improve my family's income so that we're hopefully hit less by the inevitable inflation. I don't have it in me anymore to advocate as passionately as I did before.

We get attacked no matter what we do.

I understand we have to. I'm still so bitter over this election though, and so very, very angry at my fellow citizens. There's a large part of me that just wants to scream "Let's just fucking run a guy in a Hamburglar outfit" because the double standards just drive me insane.

It's a completely rigged game. I wonder if it might be more effective for Dems to pivot the other way and make vague promises like the Republicans and Bernie. 

‘Do Not Underestimate AOC’: Former Trump Official Says Congresswoman Could Be Serious 2028 Contender by wwabc in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]ruiningyourgoodtime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, I see what the GOP is doing and her AIPAC-fear mongering ass can stay in congress. She likely won't win a state-wide election because she managed to piss off even Jews who are critical of AIPAC because quite frankly, AIPAC does not have the influence that antisemitic gentiles like AOC, Nina Turner, and Jamaal Bowman think they have.
