Iā€™m not defending drug companies, but between the cost of developing drugs and the cost of lawsuits, frivolous or otherwise, ya gotta wonder how much profit they actually do make. Altho when Lipitor went generic, my copay for 90 days went from over $120 to about $25ā€¦ I had to turn the thermostat back on - itā€™s going to get COLD tonight, and tomorrow night, and the next night. Stoopit weather! \*\*FCD \*\*figures the anesthetic has finally worn off. Heā€™s been on the couch with an ice pack for hours. But he wonā€™t take pain meds. I donā€™t understand it, but I canā€™t do anything about itā€¦ heā€™s just a tad stubborn. I think I need to sleep with Mel tonight. \* \\* ---

I get to drive \*\*FCD \*\*to work in the morning. Heā€™s not ready to drive, but heā€™s not going to sit home all day again. Heā€™d better stay mostly sitting at work. Or at least not climbing on roofs and stuff. Meanwhile, I think Iā€™ll mosey back to bed with a book. _ **MWAH!** _ ---

I may pick on you (well, actually there is no ā€œmayā€ to it) but I do feel for you as well. This month was the third time on 6 months when I had to call my doctor and say ā€œYou know that med you want me to take thatā€™s absolutely vital to the future health of my heart? How about second or maybe even fourth best? With my current insurance I canā€™t afford best and anything else - like food or shelter - combined.ā€ In the past I had great insurance that covered everything with no deductible and only cosy me $196 a month. Now since things got all affordable Iā€™m paying $206 for a $5k deductible that basically covers nothing I have. Neither my doctor or myself have quite adjusted to this new circumstance yet. ---

If you havenā€™t already, try contacting the drug company directly. Sometimes they will help people in situations where they canā€™t afford the meds they need. The manufacturerā€™s hope, of course, is that youā€™ll get better insurance and continue to use the meds. ---

The manufacturerā€™s hope, of course, is that youā€™ll get better insurance and continue to use the meds. There is often a rebate program for specific meds, as I have learned while seeking treatments for Sunny-sonā€™s ADHD/Autism fun pack. The way they seem to work is they guarantee a fixed cost to you of $X a month for the med, say $25. You sign up, get a card you give to the pharmacy in addition to your insurance, and they put through both payment requests. Itā€™s worth looking for your med and manufacturer online to see if thereā€™s a program like that for you. They have helped us a lot. Even with insurance. ---

Iā€™ve tried that option now and then over the years and it worked for me on one for a while. But there were issues with their clearance for the reduced fee arriving in time for the refills. And the way my body handles chemistry, going off and on doesnā€™t work out too well. Iā€™ve had better luck getting Doc to track down a rep from the company and scoring a boat-load of samples or rig something up through them. Just had no luck either route the past couple years. Donā€™t get me wrong; I love our President and Iā€™d probably vote for him again if he could legally run. Iā€™m just one of those people who drew the short straw over the ACA. ---
