Young and no help

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

I am 19 years with no insurance coverage of any kind. I am living with my girl-friend. We both have low paying jobs and are just trying to make a life for ourselves. ;I had to go to the ER one night. The visit along with no prescription plan, cost me over $400.00. As a young couple starting out, we have no money for any kind of sicknesses. We have to stay at home and pray that we get better. Going to the doctor these days will cost you a fortune. UNREAL!

The Bipolar Girl with no Insurance

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

As a child my father's company provided excellent health benefits for a daughter with many health issues. Through all the allergy shots, asthma treatments, and trips to the ER the insurance always provided financial backing. Starting around the age of 15 I began treatment and therapy for depression which has severely affected my life. After this diagnosis was made soon followed the second mood disorder. I was blessed with my father's insurance coverage and then graduated from high school, became one more member of the working class, and because of my decision to only be a part time student my father's health insurance will no longer cover me. Being on my own I've struggled with being financially able to pay for the three medications I need to take to function normally as an individual who is bipolar.

I was dropped from Medicare Part D Prescription Plan

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Even though the Medicare part d prescription drug plans help people save money , Specialty drugs are still very expensive making it virtually impossible to pay monthly premiums and afford the left over out of pocket expense not covered by part D plans.I was dropped from the part D program for non payment of monthly premiums.When I signed up with Humana the rep. quoted low prices for my prescriptions and monthly premiums were never mentioned. In reality the high cost of specialty drugs I need to survive are too high and my quality of life has been extremely affected. Please help me save money on my medications.
Thank you,

Disabled due to Fibromyalgia

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

I know that there are a lot of doctors and patients who do not believe in Fibromyalgia, but this is a very real disease. I have Fibromyalgia so severely, that I qualified to collect social security disability benefits after 30 years of working full time. I do not have medical insurance and pay for my medical expenses and medications out of my own pocket, therefore, I would like to know if your program might be able to assist me with paying for my medications.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!!

Sincerely,

Susan R.

Too young for this

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Last March I came home from work with swollen feet and in pain. I went to the ER because it got worst.Before I knew it I was hooked up to a Dialysis machine because both kidneys had shut down. Doctor said if I didn’t come in I would not have lived though the night. I now do home Dialysis every day for 3hrs a day. My problem is that this has caused my blood pressure to soar, and have cause a few other health problems. I do not have insurance I had to quit my job. My medicines now cost me over $1000.00 a month I have no way of paying for them. My parents help me all that they can. But they can’t afford it. If you can help me I truly appreciate it. I will be 22year on May 11, 2007.

Thank you,

Breast Cancer

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2006. I have had a radical right mastectomy and just started my chemotherapy treatments on 2/6/06. I have been prescribed Neulasta and Emend. I am insured by Humana because I did not qualify for Medicare Part D. Humana is not as beneficial to me as Medicare was, therefore, I am now in a financial bind having to pay for this medication. The Neulasta alone costs $2,972 and the Emend is $360. I receive Social Security benefits and a small amount from my deceased husband\’s retirement. My total monthly income is approximately $1,300 and my total monthly bills is $1,160. The amount of my monthly buy levitra online bills does not include the cost of these medications. Now, on a daily basis, I worry about how I am to pay for this medication. I need help with paying for my medication in order to stay alive.

Any assistance you could lend would be greatly appreciated.
