I Need Help

Friday, December 15th, 2006

I have had a lot of dental work done in the past and I haven’t had the money for my prescriptions. I am struggling with money around Christmas time. My kids are very important tome and I need to save as much money for them as possible. My wife works as a home health aide and she doesn’t have insurance, I am in between jobs right now and don’t have health coverage.

Out On A Limb

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Well, I’m writing this for my mother who is visually disabled. In other words, my mom is blind; she has numerous medical conditions, which include heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. She is unable to maintain the cost of her medicines, which keep her alive. She was under a prescription plan with my father whom had taken her off due to a divorce and left her with no other coverage. She then met another man who was to be my stepfather, who after 5yrs walked away and immediately removed her from the health insurance. My mother is unable to survive without these medications and she is unable to obtain Medicare or social services. They say she collects too much in social services and honestly, I don’t see where $2000 a month, with a mortgage and a young child to provide for on her own leaves much room to pay $700.00 a month for medicines. There is no happy ending to this story, just needed medical coverage.

I Have No Health Insurance

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

I have no health insurance; can’t afford it. I am going to use your card to get a discount on the medicine. I had to quit my job and move in with my mother to take care of her. She is almost 90 yrs. old and not able to drive. I am too young for Medicare, so I hope I don’t get sick, can’t afford to.

Sick

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

I lost my job and got real sick. It’s has been a real challenge to go to the doctor and get any prescriptions. The beginning of the year I will have insurance through my girlfriend. They just implemented a new thing, to where you can give insurance to someone you have been living with for at least 5 years. I wish they had done that last year. Anyway, I hope this is a better year for all. Thank you so much for these programs.

Help

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

I haven’t been able to work and I can’t get my seizure medication. I went to the hospital last night because I hadn’t taken my medicine, because I can’t afford it. I need topamax. What can I do? Has anyone had a problem not being able to get their medicine? If you know some way to get the medicine let me know.
