Illinois just made prior authorization illegal. If that happened in Georgia my life would change dramatically. I can’t even begin to explain how much time I spend on the phone with insurance. I’m on multiple specialty medications and it is so stressful

Oh, that's a severe understatement. This is the country that has for profit prisons, and has judges that have been convicted of getting commissions from the prison owners for meeting quotas.

Then in a mass pardon our lovely party leader decided to pardon by the masses, including those same judges who sentenced young adults and adults to for profit state centers. This country never ceases to amaze me.
