As a child under 5yrs of age my government exposed me and many others to radiation in Hanford WA [View all]
It took the government 60 yrs to tell me because a reporter went to work on Hanford and found it out.
It takes two types of thyroid for me to function. United Health Care kept telling pharmacy they had allowed the thyroid prescription to be filled. Which was true for one of the thyroids but not the other one so they denied coverage. United either pulled a fast one or the checkers for United meds not needed. United informed the pharmacy they had filled the prescription. the problem was they made that conclusion only on the one prescription they had ok'd but not the other one because they were too stupid to check it out. It was recorded in my file as I had taken the 2nd one for over 2 yrs. I have a weak heart and not having the 2nd thyroid probably killed me eventually. I had to spell out both thyroid names before it dawned on United Health Care they had only filled the one. I guess it was just too difficult to read my file where they would have found their error. This is one example of why for profit business should NEVER be involved in health care
