Hi Stacy,
I buy my meds now so I'm hoping that with the increase of volume in sales that the prices will go down. I'm hoping but will believe it when I see it. I don't understand why the government didn't tell the pharmaceutical companies that unless they sold their meds at a set discount rate, the government would buy elsewhere. Guess that would have been too easy.
With Love,

How is everyone gonna handle the new law starting next year when you have to buy scripts. It's even going for some on Medicaid if they have Medicare as well.Stacy----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 2:11 AMSubject: [QUAD-L] Re MedicareWell re: Medicare being pushed on us...seems it is automatic after you've been disabled 2 years whether you want it or not. John did a lot better just having his High risk private pay Insurance thru the state of KY along with Medicaid than he does now with Medicare. Because everyone else follows Medicare rules.
Whe he didn't have Medicare he could get a lot more things and most of his prescriptions were just $1.00. Medicaid pays what the insurance Co. doesn't but now we have to go by what Medicare allows and there is a lot of stuff they won't pay for. And attendant care is one thing they DON'T pay for.
