test area
According to the article in the link, the test area is where I live. Not only do we have a lot of seniors, but we also have a lot of illegal immigrants with no insurance. This is also the most densely populated area in Florida. That combination may be why they are starting it here.
I agree, I always try nautural first, but often I find they are just not strong enough for serious problems, and I want to function at as high a level as I can, even if I am only covering up symptoms to do it. I hate/fear being dependent far more than I fear death.
This will not help me at all, unless they include controlled substances, since I have a Medicare drug card now, and get 3 of my 4 prescriptions completely free. My 4th drug is a controlled substance, so Medicare does not cover it at all, though I cannot walk unaided without it. But, it is an old drug, and very cheap already.
If I hear anything interesting about this program from people I know here who try it, I will post it here.
I have encouraged my DH to try it, since he also takes 4 drugs, and his insurance is awful. He has to pay 100% up front, and then I file the paperwork for 60% reimbursement. He'd be better off not even having me file for reimbursement, and just going to Walmart. Both Walmart and Target are on the other side of town, but since just one of his drugs costs more than all 4 of mine, you can bet I am going to nag him into going there!
