I had to get my prescriptions refilled recently.

Medications are so costly.

Sometimes I feel like I need to choose between other things and medications.

1. You get perscriptions? Lucky!

I take vitamins and herbs and hope for the best. Medical care? Que es?

2. I know the feeling

I left my Rx's unfilled for years at a time on some occasions. Knock on wood, this year's plan is keeping them affordable. But the contract changes every year so I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

3. I spent $119 today to pay out of pocket for the bare minimum of meds

I can live on. I will have insurance on March 1 and will get a ton more meds for my migraines then. But trying to save money by not using what I need has been disastrous for me- I can't function, can't work. When I was unemployed my poor dog had to do without his arthritis meds and it made me feel so bad to see him limp- but they're $60 a month. Its a shame that we live in a country that doesn't ensure that everyone has their basic needs met.

4. I hear ya...

I'm diabetic... it gets expensive, especially without insurance. I'm sorry to hear things are so tight for you right now :hug:
