    lets say you have a sickness and your health care provider avoids giving you the good medication that you need to get better because it would be too expensive for them and instead just give you tylenol and say you'll get better soon

    is it legal for your insurance to not give you what is the recommended medication because they don't want to pay for it?
    SHOULD I SUE?

    don't quote me on it, but insurance should pay for the medicine required

    have you tried the tylenol already?

    I'm guessing this is regarding you faking the flu in order to get out of a algebra essentials test?

    All you need to do is go to your doctor and have him or her fax over something to the insurance company saying you need to have this certain type of medication.

    Insurance companies do a lot of things that should be illegal. Read your policy carefully.
