It says in the article that the woman’s husband’s diabetes meds are covered by his insurance. So, why doesn’t the insurance cover the daughter?
Also, I wonder if the woman contacted any diabetes associations for help? Many companies offer low-cost medications for people who cannot afford the full price.
(Of course, those low-cost meds end up costing the rest of us more...)
There is no telling. Perhaps her husband is a disabled person who receives medicaid, or a disabled soldier who is in the VA system. OR He just may work for a company that doesn’t offer family medical benefits.
You are correct.
Wouldn’t it have been smarter for the rep to take that approach. He could have even had one of those organizations contact the woman.
That approach would have come off so much better
