Angela wrote the President of the United States over the weekend informing him that his beating up on the health insurers was not helpful and somewhat offputting.
Earth to Angela: My doctor wanted to change my blood pressure medication a bit due to my diabetes - since things are on the mend and I'm on the path to being off insulin in the near future - and the request was denied. We had to appeal. We were then told it had to be "pre-approved". My doctor got a little crazy and I heard him suggest to one of your minions that "I am the doctor here - where did you get your degree"? Long and short is that it has now been 27 days and your group is considering it. Because I have this request pending, I can't get my old prescription refilled because you can't get it refilled until a certain time period passes (30 pills - 30 days) and I have this one for the new meds pending. So I drive to my doctor's office weekly to get "samples" to take.
Frankly, I'd gladly pony up a few bucks so Mr. Obama can come at you with a bigger club.
