Chronic Illness

Once again in order for you to get speedy service from any entity that could possibly help you with medical benefits or disability you have to almost be dying (AIDS, Lou Gherigs or end stage Renal disease). What sense does that make? NONE! You have explained that the insurance you are on none of the pharmacies or doctors carry the medication you need and you are also not working. In you not working and no one carrying what you need, you explain that you definitely dont have the money to pay $500 out of pocket (as if you don't have insurance) for your medication and you have medicaid. The office then tells you that you just have to think that you won't be getting the benefits and just PAY OUT OF POCKET. With the way the economy is who has that kind of money to spend every 30 days for medication you need on a daily basis for the rest of your life.

How is one supposed to receive medications if none of the pharmacies on their medicaid insurance plan carry none of the MEDS? That makes absolutely no sense to me. If an individual has an illness that requires meds on a daily basis for the remainder of their life then you would think that it would be carried at all pharmacies. It seems that it is common practice to only carry the medications that are more common to doctors and patients. NO SENSE AT ALL!! This is all in the plan to keep the people that are underprivileged down and unable to get their medications and take them as prescribed by their physician.

It makes you wonder that if you work hard everyday and then hard times come upon you what are you to do in case of emergency. Once you lose your job or are laid off, you are sometimes forced to reach out and get in line with the others who are struggling and sign up for medicaid. YES! Medicaid the free insurance that in most cases doesn't have all the services you need or are used to. This is what we as Americans have to depend on in order to be seen by a doctor, so they can tell us what we already know. In some instances they don't tell you everything and they are just looking forward to receiving the money you have to shell out after they try to give you a diagnoses that you like to hear.
