A friend and I were discussing the iniquities of health insurance companies (a common topic in our demographic) and how they seem to delight in denying procedures and medications they are mandated to cover by the Affordable Care Act. According to loopholes that they've carved out, either it's "out of network," or in the wrong "tier," or provided in an "unapproved" setting. Bottom line: The patient has to pony up, with no recourse whatsoever. So infuriating!
Anyhow, in the middle of the conversation my phone rang.
"Good news!" said the recorded voice. "Now there's a new, affordable health plan!"
I hung up, and my friend and I just looked at each other.
"Well, that was weird," I said after a moment.
