trippinmickey--i understand where you are coming from. my meds are real expensive too and so are my doc bills. when i reached the doughnut hole i only had the drug programs to deprnd on. they sure got me through the summer. i need to go to hosp but i don't need another payment. so my heart goes out to you. i am labeled and always will be. take care and hang in there something good will come your way. pj56
