Fortunately, I am still covered under my mothers insurance and we are blessed to have an incredible 100% coverage. However, some of my prescriptions are not covered and the price is costly! I have opt'd out of taking some medicines that I really need based solely on financial reasons. I mean, just one medicine would cost me $87. That is just one (I am on a lot of other medicines that our insurance covers, but it still costs $20 bucks a pop) Take 6 meds x 20 and there's $120 dollars worth of covered meds in one month...then add in the ones they don't want to cover, plus over the counter non-prescriptions ...
: / eeeek.
I just can't imagine how people without insurance or very minimal coverage get by when they are living with a chronic illness. It is such a pity that people need to make such life altering decisions such as buy food for the week or get your prescriptions - Both are vital for a healthy life!
I wish our healthcare system in the United States would improve. Wishful thinking, that I know - but I guess I'm allowed to just wish now. I pray for all those people who are struggling to get by and suffering from any symptoms that their disease causes just because they can't afford their medicines.
Oh boy
Even when people want to take control of their health and take things into their own hands, it can be almost impossible.
$$ is evil in my opinion. It controls everything...well almost everything
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
— Woody Allen
