Today, I found out that when I go on Medicare in January, one of my medicines will go from $45 per month to $3000 for the first month, then $425 per month for the rest of the year. I need this medicine to stay alive. FML

Today, my little twelve year-old cousin who is staying with us for a while so his parents can "work out issues" ran into my room, his face ghostly white. He begged me to take him to the hospital because he "tugged" on his penis too much in the shower, and was "bleeding milky stuff." Sigh. FML

Today, I was at the store when I saw two extremely hot girls. I walked into their aisle and they looked at me and smiled. I stopped and pretended to look at something so I could listen to what they were saying. They started laughing and walked away. It turned out I was reading a box of tampons. FML

However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML

It's reality for a lot of people! My father has stage 4 cancer and he needs a lot of medication. There was one medication his insurance wouldn't cover and it cost almost $700. Don't be so ignorant people, unfortunately our county cares more about money than about people's lives. There's people that die because they can't afford insulin or cancer treatment or other life necessary medications. It's so sad

I hate insurance companies! They know they are doing this to people, but no cares given! See if the pharmacy will offer it cheaper without insurance- that’s sometimes better. Also, if it is a brand name... contact the company & let them know what’s going on. They also offer major discounts to those without insurance. Lastly, contact your DR & see if he can change your moods to a cheaper alternative. Shalom.

You can call your doctor to see if there is a cheaper medicine or a generic they can prescribe you. You can also talk to the pharmacy about anything they can do to reduce the cost. Also contact your regular doctor to see if they can give you like a 3 month prescription to save you money
