Uninsured In Kansas
My family has had no insurance for over five years. We make just a tiny bit too much to get help but not nearly enough to buy it. Our five-year-old son was just “paid off” from his delivery at the hospital. My husband just had surgery for a broken collarbone. I am having a repeat pap test to make sure that my cervical cancer is cleared. However, I am going to quit smoking and I need the help of Wellbutrin. I’ve tried several times in the past without the help of prescriptions. No luck. This time I need to quit and I need the help. Without insurance, it is hard to pay for this. I know breaking it down will cost less than buying cigarettes, but the stress of quitting weighs on me. I keep trying to think of all of the harmful effects of smoking…and not having insurance…and that the cost of the medicine is worth it. But when the government, the medical field, and the pharmaceutical companies want everyone to quit, they should lower the costs of the “quit smoking helpers” (the patch, the gum, lozenge, and Wellbutrin) so that it would be easier for people to quit. Anyhow, I’ve rambled on enough.
