We spent nearly 8,000 dollars last year on medical and dental premiums, co-pays, prescriptions, special tests, ie. bone density. These were dollars that were out of pocket after paying taxes on the income. Or no income. When MH was getting unemployment (and we might have to pay that back...employer had a lawyer!) anyway, I did not get certain drugs due to costs. One drug I ommitted was Fosomax. When we got health insurance on Dec 8th, I went to my GP, and she said I had to take Fosomax due to osteopenia. If a woman HAS to take it, shouldn't there be a discount. No, it's just the opposite. If a woman HAS to take it, the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companys makes sure she pays the highest possible price. Guess what? I've been taking the miracle drug Imitrex for migraines. This year, Imitrex is not covered by the new insurance company we have. Nor are other migraine medications. It does not make sense. What are we going to do?
