My doctor has me on a very expensive pain medication and with no insurance I was having trouble affording it. since I've used your card I save over 400 dollars every time I use it. It's amazing the prices these pharmacuical companies charge, its almost the same as hiway robbery hopefully now that I have this card I will actually be able to spend money on other things than my medication.
Thanks

my name is colleen Coffey and i am legally disabled due to me being a waitress my whole life and have a 16 year old daughter. I am 51 years old and i need to take 6 different prescriptions. Two of them are for my heart and blood pressure problems and I take Lithium for my Bi-Polar disorder and I take Atenolol an HYdrochlorathiazide and Viocdin and Cyclobenzaprine as well. I'm afraid i cannot afford to pay for all of my prescriptions due to my very low income. my little girl also takes two medications as well. I need to be a good provider for her but i can't afford it. Most of my money goes to bills and food. We are not receiving any other help from the state, although we are trying. They canceled my insurance because i supposedly make too much money. I receive child support from my daughter's father which is $300 a month, and i receive $1000 from my disability. it just seems like i can never catch up and i don't know how they expect a person to raise a child and to live on such little money. If you could please help it would be very much appreciated. my little girl doesn't deserve to live like this especially with all my unexpected mood swings.

In 2002 my son was found to have hyperthyroidism after going from a straight A & B student to grades falling and within one weeks time was sent to an alternative school for attempting to take someone's bike, left the campus on this bike and was not able to be found and the amber alert was issued for him. At this time we had no idea that he had this condition until he went on a trip to Abilene to see grandparents and my X-husband called saying that he was in the hospital very ill and that they were looking at possible surgery and he was in grave condition. Went to Abilene and meet with doctors where they found he had such a high count of the hormone for his thyroid that they took him by ambulance to Children's' Medical center in Dallas where he was placed in ICU for quite a while because his count was so high it was elevating his heart rate. We went through 3 years of hospital stays and medications and finally in 2006 they had to remove the thyroid because of his liver they could not keep medicating him. He is on Synthorid, 1 pill a day for the rest of his life but is doing very well. My other son we have been dealing with asthma for years and he is always on medications and reoccurring doctor visits for this. My 5 yr old now is having behavior problems in school and we currently do not have insurance and he needs to get to a doctor and possibly look at medication and this program I feel with help with all the medical needs we have. As of today though all my children are happy and for the most part healthy!!

Have been a caregiver for my father who had serious problems for the last 9 & 1/2 years… Now that he is gone it is time to take care of myself, which I ignored for all those years… Somehow it is easer to do things for others than for yourself… It is hard to do, but it is getting there…
All the best to others. You just got to hang in there. It is a comfort to find programs like this one….

It has not been easy to become covered and stay covered under a medical plan the past few years. I am 26 and have had at least 2 jobs for the past 7 years-goodness knows one cannot afford to live on even that at times-and have stayed at each for 2-6 years. Naturally, I had wanted full time status to qualify for benefits, and had even agreed to pay nearly $300 a month for a plan that covered next to nothing, but yet I figured it were better than nothing at all. I recently had been hired for full time at one of my current jobs, but naturally the medical came and went within 2 months, as I was told the company could only have as handful of full-time employees. I don't really have many medical issues, just would like the basics for the few office visits and scripts I have. Even $100 a month sets me back-and so many have it worse. Somethings gotta give for us all. Any help is appreciated!
