HealthPartners

My daughter (17) needs to take the allergy pill "xyzal" for her allergies. She has tried everything else out there and this is the only pill that works for her. (not something I can control) Well, the lovely "Health Partners of Minnesota" Are refusing to honor her insurance after many hoops they sent us through and now tell us that we must pay a 70.00 co-pay per month for the pills?! Wow, this from a company that will give her birth control pills (not something that is necessary for her well being as with Xyzal) for 10.00 co-pay per month?! What is wrong with this picture? They would rather she go to the Doctor every other week with respiratory problems because we can not afford to pay 70.00 per month for allergy pills but go ahead and give her a deal for birth control? What is wrong with our system? Our health care system is so out of control. I wonder if the heads of Health Partners think of my daughter at all when they are out on their fancy boats or vacationing in Europe? My guess is, not even for a second... How sad that we are a Nation that has come to this. Our health care is so out of control and can only get worse. Of course that is only for us "little people" that need it the most and not for the Executives in their big Mansions.. Truly, how sad....
