How Is The Average Person Supposed to Read a 290 Page Document?

I've got a lot of health insurance things going on and research to do so see how much of my deductible is left, what prescriptions are covered, etc. So I decided to look at the Prescription Drug Guide for a list of covered drugs under my health insurance plan. It's a 290 page document. It's in order by condition rather than by drug name. There's no way to search for a particular drug name. There's no way to jump to a specific page. Nope, you have to scroll through 290 pages to find what you want. Ridiculous!

I agree. It’s the same when you sign up to a new contract for a phone or whatever online. You have to tick a box to say you’ve read and agree to the terms and conditions. They are always pages long, so I don’t read them and just tick the box. What’s the point?

There must be a point.

They probably made it non user friendly on purpose.
