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?
