I just had my annual meeting with my lipid specialist. My cholesterol is fine.

We're moving from praluent to repatha for my PCKS9 inhibitor, but that's due to the insurance company, not because I'm doing badly.

So, yesterday I got a letter from #AARP #MedicareRx which is powered by #UnitedHealthcare that my PCSK9 inhibitor needs reauthorization. They "gallantly" covered a month of supply.

Well, that's because the terrible US healthcare system requires this of them. Otherwise, they'd leave me high and dry.

I sent a message to my lipid specialist this morning.

I'm going to say it again: most of the time, when a patient because noncompliant, that's because of our shitty healthcare system.
