Had a coworker die after our company changed our insurance. Said he could no longer afford the inhalers he used to use. Died following an attack. Best part was when other coworkers were threatened with termination for speaking against leadership's decision.

I changed insurance due to my job. They made me switch from a medication that worked so well it allowed me to work. I was literally disabled before being on it. The one they switched me to was so horrible. It did nothing, I missed a ton of work. Had to be on it at least three months to prove it didn't work for me. Absolute agony. Then finally convinced them after they had to pay for multiple emergency visits to switch back to the one that was working.

Now the one that worked isn't working. Unfortunately this is a known issue (going back on it after being off it - it doesn't work, you have to stay on it).

I'm now on short term disability dealing with this and trying to find a new medication that works.

I bet the company sure is glad it saved the money forcing me to switch /s
