What The Fuck Insurance?

So, went to the lady doctor (OB/GYN) for a follow up yearly. Last year my insurance changed for the better, all my STI screening was included, they said. I ran everything in February the last time i was there. Today, i went to have them screen everything again so i could get my 2x yearly STI screening to keep me and my sexual partners safe. Like any responsible non-monogmous person would. Dr. comes back into the office and informs me that my insurance will not cover STI screening blood work more than 1x in a 12 month period, but if i were experiencing symptoms of anything, then they would cover it. As i was not symptomatic for anything, they couldn't "fudge" it. Though since my GYN kicks ass she can write off Chlamydia and Gonorrhea in the coding for a routine pap smear anyway. But that's only two infections. What about ALL THE OTHERS? Do insurance companies not how how STI's work? Are they magically not informed that a vast majority of people are ASYMPTOMATIC for a lot of common treatable STI's and that is why they can be a problem in the first place? Are they not aware yearly testing doesn't cover things fast enough that have 3-6 month incubation periods? Are they aware people have more than one sexual partner? Are they aware that condoms don't protect against everything? Insurance companies. You are not in the business of utilizing preventative medicine. You are in the business of fucking people.

    Down here in Florida the County Health Services offices offer free or severely reduced priced screenings. Maybe look into the equivalent up there?

    Best of luck.

Dear Virginia, Fuck You.

The state of Virginia is now aloud to discriminate against gays and other potential adopters as well as six other characteristics. Read the full article from the washington blade here . The Virginia State Board of Social Services voted 5 to 1 on Wednesday to allow licensed adoption agencies to refuse to approve adoptions or foster parents based solely on a would-be parent’s sexual orientation as well as six other characteristics.   The board took that action by rejecting for the second time this year an adoption related rule change first drafted in 2009 by state social services officials under former Governor Tim Kaine.   The proposed change called for banning discrimination in the state’s adoption and foster care system solely because of someone’s sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability, political beliefs, or family status.   Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and the state’s controversial attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, who took office...

I'm here

Just running a few tests. I'm on youtube as well, but this more anonymous text forum may be a better outlet for the information I'd like to explore. I'm going to attempt to post weekly, at least thats the goal. :) I had an ocular migraine (those are things, apparently) today, so we'll see how far we get with this bad boy. Also, the content you're about to view is not suitable for minors ;)
