Today I made a disturbing finding that my future medication’s price tag yearly cost is a few thousand dollars more than our yearly income!
Wow! How is that possible?
Who are those people that can afford to have Multiple Sclerosis and pay for feeling better, more easily than we poor people can afford to?
Frighteningly, that has been a proven theory of mine and the rest of the thinking people of the world that we know, what am I talking about you ask?
That only the wealthy will survive these illnesses.
Does that sound fair?
On the positive side they have programs for us falling between the cracks types, that we can fill out the paperwork just for the asking for some consideration to be privileged enough to be in their scholarship program, huh?
That’s what this feels like.
Can I pay it back when I am cured like with college loans on gainful employment? LOL, wouldn’t that be great!
OH NO! But this medication is not a cure; it will just prevent more relapses and stop the disease from progressing! I still want in and bad!
Again I must figuratively jump through their hoops to hopefully meet their criteria to be exposed to wellness!
If not, too bad on you!
And we have flunked many before.
Why would anyone want to continually get smacked in the face with these refusals?
A glutton for punishment I suspect or perhaps it’s just my unwieldy perseverance?
And they are sending me the forms to fill out in the mail real soon in a plain white wrapper the contact woman kept saying as if I really cared who knows I can’t afford tens of thousands of dollars a year to pay for medication, really, yippee!
I suppose they feel that it is less embarrassing, huh?
People are losing their jobs, homes, and life savings all I know is that I can’t afford medication for my illness.
And of course I will fill them out, my discreet new friend!
Who really cares if they send me the forms in a bright red envelope, I will still send them back express, whatever that means, fast I guess?
I had some pool time again this morning and heard back from my English Prof friend who was kind enough to commiserate with my situation with the medication and told me of her personal experience with high price, but curative medication that actually was over four thousand for only a three weeks dosage! But it did make her better from that horrid dermatological infection that was systemic ill and caused while hospitalized.
But fortunately her Hubby’s insurance paid the bill except for the acceptable meager amount of twenty-five bucks!
Not as comforting as one may think.
Before I go into to my unjust jealousy mode I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
