Subject: Re: Medication cost (are you kidding?!)

 

Well the patient assistance programs are very low, we have a pretty high income

for the 2 of us, however we also pay for husbands mother's COBRA and some of

my parents expenses.. nevermind the other medical bills of ours... so even

though we have a higher than average income I am still in a bad place because of

these med costs.

I don't think i qualify for anything. I do understand your frustration, I never,

even at age of 18 qualified for grants/subsidized loans for school. So worked

and did college on my own. It gets annoying.

I'm not sure how supplemental income insurance works, but from my understanding

this would still be a pre x condition, unless done through work. Our insurance

at work is $600+, and it's private.

I think I'm going to speak to the doctor about switching my medication, even

though it works so well for me. I just don't see spending $6k a year on meds- we

don't even qualify for tax reimbursement!

Thanks for all the advice though and best of luck to everyone else.
