They can toss a tin can with people in it all the way round the moon so it lands in a predetermined spot and be waiting there for it when it comes back down but they can't tell you what your prescription insulin will cost this month when you go pick it up

If NASA handled your prescriptions you would not be having this trouble. Also, since so much of the government’s services have been gutted, there is room for aggressive expansion of NASA’s mission.

I couldn’t even get my documentation updated at my insurance company and am just going to have to “wait out their system’s process” (during which it has my coverage as not active, yet the state assures me that it is).

To be fair, I’m not sure they could tell you exactly what this was going to cost when they started either. 😅
