  • An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but shit like this is what prevents people from taking preventative measures.

    • Can confirm. Had my mammogram last month and they recommended an ultrasound because my breast tissue is dense. I've had it once before with no problems, but my husband's company switched insurance providers and it kicked in January 1, so now the lab where I normally go isn't in-network and every lab that is in their network wants to charge me hundreds of dollars. This is with good insurance. (My husband always picks the most expensive insurance package because we're getting older.)

      Money is a little tight right now because I'm in between jobs, so at this point I've given up. I'll look into it again when I'm employed again but it's just not affordable at the moment.

    • Its purposeful. It's done this way so that there are legal ways of justifying the death of millions per year as they are deemed unprofitable.
