Quote:Actually, most manufacturers give significant discounts to those uninsured individuals who pass the means test. You get a card that you take to the retail pharmacy and they process it like insurance.
 

 

These "means tests" are often unfair to those who barely make enough to survive. They cater to parasites who live off grandma and make no money, but if someone like myself is merely earning unemployment and unable to pay their bills, the amount taken in with unemployment is typically too much to qualify for any means test forcing the patient to pay the max or do without. Their only real option is to do without and suffer no matter how dire the consequences may be.


 

I have to pay over $300 a month to have private insurance, and my wife does the same, but it's quickly coming to a head where one of us will probably have to stop having insurance because it's too tough to afford. The costs of some of these medicines are getting unreal. I have this one prescription tube of an athlete's foot cream that costs $300 for a month's supply. Fortunately with the insurance it's only $15, but still that's just insane. The medical industry costs are out of control, and it's obvious that Obama care is doing nothing to curb the tide.
