    The US hard up needs straight socialized Healthcare. Our model is complete shit.

    Their story gets even more screwed up. The woman who had the kids’ health insurance (through her work, cause murika) cut this drug and others like it the day after the woman’s kids were born. Doctors ran tests on her twins and confirmed the issue 4 days later.

    So if she’d have had her kids less than a week earlier, the insurance would have been forced to cover it. I practically find it hard to believe it was such a coincidence.

      Either your info is out of date or you didn’t actually read the story. Insurance covered the shots, albeit only after being pressured. It’s fubar anyway, but the particular story you’re referencing resolved in a just way

        The story may have gotten an update. When I read about it, there was no resolution and the mom was trying to gofundme for some help and the hospital tried to get insurance to do it under the argument that they were born a day before the drug was cut from the list, and insurance still denied it.
