My mother fell into the donut hole last year which meant to continue with her life-saving medication, she would have had to pay $3000. The woman at Medicare told her she was of the more “lucky” ones. Some of the meds for others cost $12,000 a month! Could you afford that? I can’t and I have two incomes in my household.

Luckily mom hooked up with… I think it was the Masons or the Lions? I don’t recall who now, who had a drug program who sponsored her. And the reason that she was so lucky was because her only income is social security.

It gets to be such a hard and gut-wrenching topic when we get down to the nitty-gritty of just how much we all ought to pay for each other’s healthcare, especially when expenses grow like this. I’m probably not sensitive enough to do it right, so let me just say that i’m so happy that your mom found success! How is she?
