Both my husband and my drug plans changed

For instance 2019 my husbands prescription potassium was 12 something a month , now it will be 28.00 starting in January... all but 2 of his meds have basically doubled in cost. Sure 12-28 doesn’t sound like a big deal but when you are living off SSDI it’s huge.
It's disgusting, this situation with healthcare cost. I believe it is the #1 priority in our nation.

I am on MediCal (medicaid), but I'm right in the middle of the wait to be approved for SSDI. I want to be approved, but I'm worried about losing MediCal, mostly because I don't want to lose my treatment team.
