I DON'T KNOW WHAT INCOME BRACKET YOU ARE IN BUT I WOULD CONTAC THE PHARMACUTICAL COMPANY. SOME HAVE A PROGRAM IN WHICH YOU CAN APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE AND IF YOU QUALIFY, YOU WILL GET YOUR MEDS FREE OF CHARGE. CHECK ON THE INTERNET.
THERE IS NOTHING TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT. TIMES ARE TOUGH. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED APPLYING FOR DISABILITY? THAT IS ANOTHER OPTION. MEDICARE DON'T KICK IN RIGHT AWAY BUT IT WILL HELP PAY FOR YOUR MEDS. WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY. KEEP YOUR CHIN UP.
Thanks. I don't work and my husband was unemployed for 2 yrs. and we went thru our 401k and maxed credit cards. Now that he has a job we probably won't qualify, but I will definitely check out this possibility. I feel guilty considering we now have an income, but on the edge of bankruptcy... Who isn't now? Thanks for the info!
