I noticed on my page I actually have my 1st response. I have not clicked the link to find out any more information on this 75% off perscription medicine program. I was more inspired to share what I have found to be an even better deal that anyone and everyone is able to apply for. Pharmacudical companies have what is called a patient assistant program. My doctors office actually got me started on it. I was aproved and a perscription that would normally cost me $165.00 a month cost $5.00. I had another perscription that would have cost $130.00 a month that cost me $10.00 a month. The one perscription had a generic that still would have cost more with out the patient assistant program. I know many doctor offices are swamped and this does require a bit of leg work and some organization if the doctor is not willing to handle the paper work for you but very much worth it when medication is a necessity and money is tight. One of my cellular customers actually works for a pharmaceutical company who is totally opposed and considers the idea of socialized medical actually a scare and a threat to his industry. I do not share that beliefe and love Michael Moore's movie "Sicko". The thing he said to me is that so many people complain because they can't afford their medication and if you ask them if they have even applied for patient assistance they usually say no or they don't even know its availabe. Or the real kicker is they don't think they will qualify. Well if you can not afford medication or it is a finacial stress in your life chances are you will qualify. So I had the amount of what my medication costs down to the place I could afford it. The next issue I had was the fact the Dr. was charging me a fortune every month to simply write out a perscription or two. My doctor's office was more than helpful with the patient assistant program but there were several times I could'nt pay my balance and they refused to see me or write my perscription. This meant I went with out my medication for several weeks at one point. Finally the same lady in the office handed me a form to fill out applying for county assitance for my doctor visits. I was aproved and had no co-pay. This all was very helpful and Michael Moore dosen't mention any of this in "Sicko" which I will admit is a very biased move showing the extreme cases proving socialized medicine is a necessity in America. Until we as Americans can all look forward to being able to see the doctor when needed, have good dental care, and rest assured we will not go with out medication, this is the information I was inspired to share with you. If you would like more information on this I have some resources that will probably explain and share more information with me on where to get the applications ad how it works. I was lucky enough to have a great doctors office that handled all of it for me. I am pretty sure that every pharmaceutical company website will have a link for a downloadable application. As for the county assistance I believe it would or at least should be listed on your states department of human services web page. I will try to post some links on my home page. Right now I am working strictley off my cellular PDA and will hopefully get settled and my desktop up and running soon as I have just moved.
