This analysis provides evidence linking cannabis-use to adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attack (MI), ischemic stroke, heart failure (HF), & mortality. Notably, cannabis use appears to pose a substantial & independent risk for these outcomes, even in a population without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. #cannabis #marijuana #heartattack #stroke #heartfailure #mi #hf #medicine #health jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.1016/j.ja

It's really worth having your doctor run this blood test for you. Lots of those "surprise" heart attacks you read about among athletes and celebrities -- maybe even your own young family members -- are traced to Lipoprotein (a), aka Lp(a), pronounced "L. P. little a".

tl;dr — If you're switching jobs or have had a "qualifying event", choose literally any #healthinsurance provide that isn't Aetna.

#Aetna has repeatedly denied my prior auth for a life-changing (and potentially life-saving) drug, one that had been covered for over a year on Anthem. Aetna's reason? I'm only eligible if I've previously had a #heartattack or #stroke — events that this drug would help prevent.

Let the cynicism of that sink in for a moment.

Essentially, Aetna demands that I give my condition a chance to kill me before they'll grudgingly agree to pay for the thing that could've helped me survive.

That isn't just greedy: it's wrong. And I will be sharing that observation and the rest of our interactions with the state insurance board.
