In today’s episode, we discuss the absolute circus that is medication access and a broken healthcare system. 

To set the scene: Jamie’s ADHD meds lapse and CVS hits her with basically the greatest hits of med denial. We’re all-too-familiar with the insane amount of barriers that keep us from getting the mental health help we need—from denials and appeals to drug tests and prior authorizations. Not to mention the very unethical ways pharmacists can deny us healthcare. 

All of these obstacles disproportionately harm uninsured and vulnerable people, too. Which is the real tragedy here.

If you’re a medical professional and would like to be a guest on our show to talk about this, please email us @ [email protected]. 

And if for some reason it’s not clear: We are not medical professionals and nothing we say should ever be considered medical advice.
