I have that on my other meds but not the expensive ones. I can't afford three months at a time of those. Plus it would throw me into the donut hole in January instead of March or April and once I go in there, I pay through the nose for everything and I never get out of the hole.
I applied for aid with these. One will give me meds after I've spent a large amount of money on meds, probably about half of the year. The other won't give it to me at all. They want to run you into abject poverty first. I said maybe I should go to Mexico and sneak across the border. Then Joe Biden would shower me with free health care.
What is this "donut hole"? I pay the same amount for meds every month throughout the year. A three-month supply costs me just a bit more than a one-month supply. It must be some other kind of insurance. I don't study it much. I just take what the government gives me.
Maybe things will get better this year.
Meanwhile, we're about to get a snow and ice storm in a couple of days.
Medicare, some evil toad came up with a system where you have a donut hole in the middle of what Medicare pays for in prescriptions. You stay there until you have spent something over $6,000 a year in your share. I have insurance to help but I still pay a much higher amount for the more expensive meds, and a sky high amount when I'm in the donut hole, which for me is the rest of the year. I could get a medigap insurance that costs five times more than what I'm paying now. It would actually cost be over $1,000 more a year with premiums and what I would still pay for these meds. There is no generic or cheaper version of these meds so I'm stuck. A three month supply costs three times what I pay for one month. Plus, like I said. That would throw me into the donut hole almost immediately.
Trump really helped when he got prescription prices down. These expensive meds soared after Biden came in.
We had three snowstorms in a week and a half with lots of snow for Virginia. The last one we had a thick glaze of ice on top of about 10 inches of snow. Luckily it didn't stick to trees and powerlines or we'd have been out of power for days. We still have a lot of snow with ice on the ground. We have to go to town today. SO's mother is dying and this may be his last chance to see her. I hope the roads are okay.
Y'all be careful. I hope you don't get a bad storm.
A weatherman in VA is saying my part of NC may get as much as a foot, although the Weather Service is leaning more toward sleet now. I just ordered more propane, so there won't be a chance of running out.
We bought the mandatory bread yesterday. We already had milk. You can buy milk a little ahead of time, if you get it in paper cartons instead of plastic jugs. The milk lasts a whole lot longer in the paper because the paper blocks light.
I have some dried milk in my stash too. It's usually on the baking aisle if you want some. I hope you don't get slammed with a foot of snow and absolutely no sleet! I actually get the Fairlife milk not because we're lactose intolerant but because of the long keeps until date and it's a lot lower in carbs. It costs more but it keeps for weeks.
We do all our heating with a pellet stove and a woodstove. We have lots of pellets and wood. The woodstove can heat the house by itself if the power goes out. Luckily, they're only calling for an inch tomorrow here.
