I am sorry to be blunt--but here in MI, there is a branch of medicaid

that allows for higher income rates than straight medicaid that is

only for chronically ill children, which with asthma and PID, my kids

do fall under. They are covering all the copays my insurance does not.

I hate to say that we were recently also able to start receiving SSI

on the boys behalf---if not, just in COPAYS, we would be looking at

over $2,000.00--just for the maintenence meds, not IVIG or anything

when they get sick. We were at the same point before we found out

about the branch of medicaid for sick kids---I was back to work when

Brennan was 3 weeks old, just to pay for Donovans meds, every paycheck

went straight to the Rite Aid!! Many states do have this ins, but its

not widely known, so maybe that is worth checking into, if you havent

yet?
