Re: URL for free drug card from the good ole USA

Don't worry, you didn't stress me or hurt my feelings. I just thought maybe you meant the email for someone else and they would miss it.I'm so sorry about your Medicare problems. They are so difficult to deal with. It seems they have little rules about everything.....and none of it in our favor.As for who did your transplant, why would they care? They should be glad if they didn't pay for it instead of giving you a hard time about it. It's just a typical government agency. And unfortunately, we have to deal with them. I just don't think anyone who is responsible for regulating Medicare really understands what it means to be sick or disabled or old. Sometimes I feel like they prey on us....try to pull things over on us.I have a Medicare Supplement or Gap insurance (they pay what Medicare doesn't pay) and I just changed to a new company and I'm so worried. The last one was nothing but trouble and this new one is half the price and someone recommended it to me. I'm just afraid when I start going to the doctor for some of my conditions they're going to try to hit me up with the old "preexisting condition clause". Even though I asked if it applied and they told me no because I was moving from one insurance to another without a break. So new health insurance & new drug plans for 2009.......fingers crossed!!

Re: URL for free drug card from the good ole USA

I do live alone (except for my border collie Cowboy) and my pain doc weaned me off the patch once without any problems. He will NOT allow his patients to just stop using them. I really don't think I can stop anyway, I have too much other pain from arthritis and fibro and sjogrens. So I'm probably stuck until we start exploring the idea of a pain pump along with the spinal stimulator I have. You're right, we both seem to be fighters. I don't give up easily if I know I'm entitled to it!!!

Jo LynneYes, Medicare can make us miserable. It's so nice to have these groups where we can meet others with similar problems and possibly offer solutions. And what a wonderful Christmas present.....I've made a new cyber friend!! Have a wonderful holiday!

Well, you couldn't have a better liver!! My great grandmother was the daughter of a Cherokee Chief. I don't think I qualify for anything, but I think it's cool and wish I could have known her. I do believe my ancesters were part of the Trail of Tears because my ggm was part of a tribe that was originally in OK. I have a nephew putting together our familys' geneology on DVD and is sending copies to everyone, so maybe I'll find out more. I have seen a picture with about 30 family members and she was very easy to spot!! She was beautiful!!! But she had those piercing eyes, a little scary!! Take Care, B. in

Well, I guess I am 1/8th also. It was my great grandmother on my father's side who was full Cherokee. Like I said, her ancesters walked the Trail of Tears......ended up in OK, at some point her entire "tribe" moved to Missouri....her father was the Chief. But my great grandfather met her in MO. I'm told it took a lot of talking to convince the Chief to let his daughter marry my great grandfather.....mainly because he was going to be taking her to Illinois and he wasn't a Native American Indian. She never accepted anything from the government either and I think her father pretty much disowned her when she married my ggrandfather. I could be wrong but I don't think the Native Americans trusted not only the government but anyone who wasn't Native American.

But it eventually happened. I don't know all the exact details, still waiting on the DVD from my nephew. My nephew said this was just the first DVD, he plans to keep searching and is hoping to get information about our families that were in England and Ireland. I can't wait, I've always wanted to know about our family history. I don't know what we have to do to get any Native American benefits, but I bet it is really difficult.

Hi you can get help with food, doctors, meds, and home loans thru the Indian network but you have to be able to prove the blood line. I am 1/8 Cherokee but I have never tried proving it. My GGMa was fullblood but she would never try to get anything that Indians at the time was allowed. She said never trust the goverment they give with one hand and take with the other. Her family owned 500 acres of prime farm land and had a shipping business when they were rounded up. Her family was the in the first round to be sent down the trail. They were some of the lucky ones because they got to take 4 of the

wagons with alot of needed supplies. My cousin gets all of her meds, and medical care thru the Cherokee Nation o and also food. My sister-in-law got all of her medical care, food, and money. She was of the Osage

Tribe and 1/4 blood but she was also the last known person in her line. If you can prove to have at least 1/32 you can get help. I am going to look into it for me. I just have to get the info from my cousin. LYL may
