It's a grim prospect for many who regularly use very specific meds. I do hope things work out for you, that you will be able to manage off the grid.

guh.. I am also a type-1, I also spent a bunch of time off insurance and taking care of myself. These days its Lantus and Humalog. That alone comes to about 300 a month out of pocket. With some work you can get the costs down on syringes and testing equipment.. But.. guh.. it is a pain in the bottom. The thing is I managed to self manage, including finding ways to obtain insulin without prescriptions for about 15 years. Even after I got insurance at work I was so used to doing things my way they I didn't bother with a Doctor until the insulin I was using was discontinued. I am now, really un-surprised by those numbers. The sick part is that if and when Trigger finger catches up with you, or you end up needing an ambulance with a glucose drip one Sunday morning, or something else happens that will be a year where 50% of your income gets consumed just to stay within the system. Meanwhile 24% of your income is out the door by default... To make it all worse, I have no doubt in my mind that the ACA dbags will eventually stat setting limits on what and how much equipment you can use on a daily basis.. In some parts of Canada they will not pay for a pump, because they see even type one as being a problem you brought on yourself. In England they limit the number of test strips you can use per day. I use like ten per day to keep my A1c around 7... So, I will be doing whatever I can to remain outside the system..

Thanks Rich. Yes, my husband has great insurance through work, which has coverage for all of us. (Him, me and our two kids).

I know. Friend of her brother. Just want to pass along the info.

I don't think that was her own personal experience..... :)

Sorry to see that mooch. You are one step ahead of my brother. He still gets "page does not exist" when he tries to sign up.. I'll let you know what he finds out. My wife works for an insurance company and we have great coverage. Wonder how long it will last?

Thank you for that info. I will pass it along, and ask about whether they would post this widely. :-)

Yes! Us too. Not getting anything else from me.

Not for this chillun. Ain't goin' nowhere near it. Got my own, gonna keep it as long as I can. If they start doing that other stuff, time to bug out and let them have the burning embers that remain.

I’ll never sign up or visit the website. These clowns aren’t going to be stuffing my e-mail box with their threats and fear- mongering.

No thank goodness. A friend of my brother. It is insane what that bill gave access to.
