Hi Gunny and Candy! There are so many of us on medicare than can use some help! They have made it so complicated that we really don't know where to turn. We had two great insurances when Jack and I were working then after TM we went to one and then when Jack took his early retirement we had to pay and pay we did! It started out $800 plus then was lowered finally to $500 plus and then back up to $610 and then I ended up still having to pay! We checked into different ones and ended up with AARP and just had to use it so we'll find out how it works. We chose the 'L' where we have a deductible of $250. I was interested in the AARP drug card?? I am going to look into that right away! Thanks for passing that bit of news on!!
Hugs for you all..Jeanne -------Original Message------- From: CANDIS KALLEY Date: 6/19/2009 10:57:30 AM To: Richard J Boyle; tmic-list Subject: [TMIC] AARP Drug Card Gunny, today I did look into the AARP drug card for $19.95 a year and subscribed to it. THANK YOU for the info. The FL Drug card is zero help in tier 3 meds and Forteo was going to cost me $749.00 a month - I'm already in the doughnut gap. I spent yesterday in tears. I had a glass of wine last night and woke up today and remembered you saying AARP drug card, so I signed on - I've been an AARP member for several years. I found out what you were talking about that the AARP drug card is seperate from Medicare supplement/Part D. So, I signed up after seeing that the Forteo is only $111.91 per month - about the same as I was paying for Boniva a month! I can afford that. THANK YOU again! Maybe next time I will "wake up" a little sooner or give me a shout back to "WAKE UP!" Prayers and thoughts for you and yours, Candy K.
