Help With Prescriptions

I know that there are a lot of people that do not have insurance, inadequate insurance, or insurance without prescription medicine coverage, especially the elderly. For some people, medicine is a necessary part of their lives and without it they could die. I know that without the help of medicaid, we could not even begin to afford my husband's medicines which are over $2,000 a month. Before medicaid we depended on his doctor having samples to give us and drug companies giving us free medicine. I belong to a wonderful group called MUIB, which I have talked about several times here. I am reading about several of them needing medicine but not able to afford it. As I have stated, I have been there and know what it is like. I do not have insurance as I work in a fast food restaurant and we are not offered insurance.

As everyone knows WalMart is now offering medicines for $4.00. Unfortunately new medicines are not on it. One thing you can do is talk to your doctor and see if there is something he can switch you to that is on the list. My father was on a high price medicine and even with his insurance it was still expensive so we talked to his doctor and he is now on one that does the same thing for $4.00. Sometimes that is all it takes.

I am including in this post several sites that you can check out to see if you qualify for help. Each site is different so please take the time to check them out. Also, if you are on insulin, you can contact Eli Lily and see if you quailfy for their program.
