Decisions about the Rock and Hard Place
![]() So, I have reviewed my options and decided to move from Humana to AARP for RX. Primarily because the premium is less. Both cover generics ONLY during the gap. So, now my challenge to figure out how I am going to obtain the Brand meds that are not covered during the gap...approximately $717.44...a little less than 50% of my monthly income. The one non-covered med that infuriates me is my insulin, which will cost me $80.20 a month. This is a life saving medication, not a medication to help with symptoms...infuriating...and not available as a sample from a physician. Yes, there are FREE meds programs out there, but they are based on income, typically at poverty level...which I believe is $11,500...and that is far less than my income. So, I don't qualify for those. I will turn now to my personal physicians and request monthly samples from them beginning in March 2007 ![]() ![]() Here is detailed information about the PENALTY imposed by Medicare Part D if you don't enroll timely when you become qualified to do so:
