Just found out that my insurance (one of the "cadillac plans so loathed by all in the discussion, after all, I'm a federal worker (BTW, I wish I had half the benefits the lunatics accuse us of having)) will cover an allergist visit, but not the materials used. In other words, go for a cut, and we'll pay for the visit, but you're paying $300 for the band aid.

ladies and gentlemen, the system is broken and needs a reset.
