Total mess in both the government and healthcare policy

So, my old glasses frame finally snapped...

I went to see my eye doctor yesterday for a checkup and to get a new prescription

She tells me I'm eligible for a discount and sends me over to the Jefferson clinic...

I handed the prescription to my neighbor who works there and asked her to look into confirming the discount, she just called me back a second ago...

And now comes the absolute best part 😁

I've been wearing glasses for 16 years, I have astigmatism, and my prescription is high enough that even insurance should cover plastic lenses. I haven't updated my frames in five years but

BUT

my damn prescription apparently has to go before a REVIEW BOARD

I mean, how much sheer stupidity does it take for someone who has worn glasses for 16 years and has a massive nearsightedness prescription 😬 to be forced to face a board

🙄 🙄

Man, I am just so fed up with this country and all these incompetent people I’m paying taxes to support...

Is that happening over on Jefferson now?
I still remember back when it was on Missouri and Columbus.

Since I work as a freelancer, I don't qualify for that discount.

So, do you have some kind of high-tech glasses?
I think it's definitely time for a change.

yeah, that's on Jefferson now... used to be Missouri back in the day...

man, I seriously need those high-end plastic lenses with the anti-reflective coating, so my starting price for glasses is always through the roof. That discount would actually mean something to me...

but this commission? man, it’s like they're checking to see if a goldfish can tell colors or something. It feels so extra. 😬

PS, you got my email?
