I just got done refusing two new prescriptions at my pharmacy checkout. Eighty dollars total, and that's the co-pay amount. They were prescribed to battle a scalp problem that has at least contributed to a significant and alarming loss of hair. Fortunately, I have samples from my dermatologist so I'll make do on them until they're gone; perhaps they will be enough to take care of the problem. If not, well, I'll face that when the time comes.
Our company's new Health Care Plan is not even a month old and already it's killing me financially. I just don't have it after paying for my three maintenence medications which already straps me.
My advice: Get a life with two full household incomes. Get wealthy. If you can't get (and stay) wealthy, don't age, don't get sick, and don't require medications. You'll be facing a hollow plan on your own just when you need it.

Sad but true
Ouch! Have you considered a herbologist? They may have solutions that are a fraction of the cost without causing a slew of side affects that you wind up having to pay for. Even a change in diet (you have had a significant change in your diet lately) can cause this, so maybe streamlining your diet will help too. Just some thoughts. In the meantime, hook up with a gay guy, get married and reap the rewards of a double income/bene plan!
