Hi: Everyone has a different insurance, and different co-pays. This sounds absolutely ridiculous. When my husband left work we took Cobra. Its cost us $892.00 a month for the two of us, but our insurance coverage and prescription coverage all stayed intact. Other than the price we were paying, everything stayed the same for a period of time until my husband went back to work. I pay $80.00 for a 90 day supply of my Gleevec. I have Aetna Insurance with Medco Mail Order for Scripts. Check every possible thing you can to get the coverage you need. Suzzie

Last year I was paying $337.02 per month this year it went up to $411.00 a month! I have a job and insurance. What is up with that? I thought the longer it is on the market the cheeper it would get. I would like to know more about this help for meds in the stimulus package...I wish you luck Penny On Mar 5, 9:23 am, kellyelise <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone! > > I know ya'll have posted numerous times various Rx assistance > programs.
