    Just in case anybody thinks “it’s just a recommendation, that’s not so bad,” remember that the “recommendations” determine what insurers are willing to cover. No recommendation == pay full price out of pocket. On top of that, paying full price out of pocket leads to way fewer people getting it, which in turn leads to that price going up even more due to lack of economies of scale.

      luckily my state passed a law requiring the recommendations of the states office to be covered by insurance.

        Good luck with that. I just lost an argument with my HR because apparently they provide insurance under federal laws, not under the laws of my state

              yeah if you talked to them and they said they can’t enforce state law or whatnot cool. alls you can do in any situation is due dilegence. once you have exhausted your resources your pretty much done.
