I am so sorry this is happening to so many. My mom has been paying Cobra and it runs out this September. She's been paying full price for hers, the stimulus never got approached since she's Medicare eligible in May. I am wondering why Medicare doesn't pick up drug cost. Nope, mom had to get a drug program and supplement because she sees the doctor so much. It is cheaper than Cobra though. *sigh*

You can check with your local hospital. Some have low income coverage for those out of work. It's based on your income or something like that. Not sure if it covers outpatient but your could ask.
