sneaky bastards

so i go to walgreens last night to pick up my new birth control and lo and behold, they tell me it isn't covered. what!! my insurance told me over the phone that it was before, so what is the deal. of course it is nighttime, so i can't call them, so i pay the FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS and jet. but when i call anthem the next morning to inquire, they say no, it is covered, it's a tier three medication. ok- explain that i say to the woman. she says, well that indicates a sixty dollar copay. yeah, bullshit. so i say, that is more that the cost of the medication. i'm sorry is all she can say. i respond: thats a sneaky fucking way of not REALLY covering birth control, since not doing so would be against the law. she's speechless and i hang up. although i can't say i'm surprised. the same thing happened to my sister and to me before when i was on other types of birth controls. nice fucking loophole to get around the law and make women pay for bc out of their own pockets. cheap bastards. i should write them a letter and say that i've decided to use natural family planning instead, which has a success rate of about 25%. it costs tens of thousands of dollars just to have a fucking baby. one year of bc for an insurance company is cheap as hell.
