I am so sorry this is happening to you. The insurance and the government will always find a way to sc**w you if they can. It is sad that we have to make such difficult decisions. Do ask your pdoc for some samples if he will do that. Some drug companies also have a patient program where they can get free or reduced meds.

I agree that you might want to put off the family visit while you are so upset about your past. It won't do anyone any good if you go to family and fall apart. The hospital may also be a good idea. You are going through such stress right now you may need that break to breathe and regain yourself.

Best wishes, as always
