I miss when there was a shortage and only people with uncontrolled diabetes could get them. Now the most entitled people believe their insurance should cover it for weight loss and flip out when they don't.

Then it's the copay cards and the Medicare patients who can't use them at retail.

Don't get me started on the people who have a plan benefits exclusion and think their OSA is enough and that they're better than the weight loss people. No, you have OSA because you're overweight and it's causing sleep issues. You're not better than anyone else.

Oh, and actually, your insurance MAY cover it if you're in their weight management program or it has to be prescribed by THIS doctor, so the insurance company can keep a close eye on your weight!

I'm over it, and it's only going to get worse the more drugs come out. I'm dreading the beginning of next year when PAs expire because it's not just the patients, it's the insurance companies.

I fell into being a pharmacy technician after I couldn't find a job post-college. It's not what I studied in school, it's not what I wanted to do at all. I was just a warm body for a failing pharmacy chain. Now I work in a specialty pharmacy in admin and I still hate it. I'm good at the job and the health benefits are the only thing worth staying for. I have no idea how to pivot out. I don't mind staying in healthcare, but I have no desire to directly work with patients. It's incredibly draining to be on the phone with angry people 8 hours a day. What are other options for someone with pharmacy experience?
