We pay $270 per month for my step-son's medication ... AFTER our insurance pays some of it. It's crazy.
My son and I didn't have health insurance for ten years ... thank goodness we are both very healthy and nothing bad happened. It's such a frightening risk to take ... but sometimes there is nothing that can be done about it. I am self-employed and getting insurance for us was no where near my price range.
My parents are on dozens of prescription medications, as I'm sure most elderly people are. If it weren't for my dad's former employer's good retirement plan which pays for prescriptions, they would be dead, I'm sure.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

And I have 3 prescriptions. #1 I have always been able to get samples of from the DR. #2 is inexpensive, so when samples are not available I can just get at a pharmacy. #3 I receive through a patient assistance plan.
