I was injured in a vehicle accident resulting in debilitating migraines and head, neck, and facial pain from a brain injury. I suffered two years of headaches to “fail” enough treatments for insurance to approve a five-year-old treatment that’s now gold standard for migraine relief. After eight months of success on this medication, my employer switched Rx providers to a company that requires preauthorization and proof that this is the only medication that actually works. Why does Congress allow insurance companies to dictate treatment decisions over doctor’s orders, published evidence, and the patient experience? Why must Americans suffer under this broken system?
