I’m not sure if Symbicort still gives out samples to Doctors.

Spiriva ? my Pulmonary doctor gave me a 2 month supply which is office policy after that it’s by script.

When I first got on SSDI because It was low enough I didn’t have to pay monthly premium. When my husband was approved we now both pay 135.50 per month right off the bat. My husbands drug premium is increasing to 63 and possibly higher depending on which plan we find best for him, I’m certain his medications will cost more also

We have to pay 35 a month for his oxygen, and I’m sure his medication for his nebulizer will increase, both of those are filed through Medicare not his prescription drug plan.

Of course January we start back over with that joyous 250.00 deductible each.

Lots of drug companies do offer saving plans but if your on SSDI it can be a Nope with our combined income. but they will pay if on SSI only.

So I’m not spazzing out I’m just looking at it all logically

I fully believe that the rising cost of Doctor visits and prescription meds is pure population control.

Proven fact more elderly people die the last quarter of a year because they hit the “ donut hole” with prescription coverage, most can’t afford extra coverage for that so they have to choose food or meds or power.

9-10 hours from now I will know what level of medication hell we will sitting in.
