Prescription Drugs
So I need to start taking a certain medication again. I was on this drug for quite some time several years ago, then off it for the past few. I was hoping I’d never have to take it again, but my body has other ideas.
The only health insurance I can afford is through the school ($1500/year), and it doesn’t have prescription drug coverage. Unfortunately, the medication I need to take is between $200 and $300/month. That’s between $2400 and $3600/year. And I cannot afford that no matter how I try to make the numbers work.
I wonder how soon Obama’s going to get universal healthcare off the ground?
If Obama doesn’t pull through, make sure your grad school covers drugs. My program is pretty good as long as you pick up your drugs at the health center.
Good luck…
