insurance woes

[Guest guest]

I'm finally getting my neupogen tomorrow, so I'm hoping it will make

me feel better. I've been feeling extremely run down and light headed

and have had a soar throat and a fever. I've also felt nausious at

times. Today, when I looked online on my insurance acct. to make sure

the transaction went through, I saw my copay on this drug is 524.00!!!

I already pay 230.00 for the pegasys!! I Hate insurance companies and

drug companies!!! My insurance only pays 90% of injectable drugs!(10%

I have found is still A LOT of money!!!) I know that I am lucky to

have it, but that is ALOT of money... especially at Christmas time.

I've already spent a fortune on copays for specialist visits, labs, CT-

scans, biopsy, etc... (insurance only covers 80% of that...)This is

just very depressing. Sorry if I'm whining, I do realize that there

are a lot of people less fortunate than I, and I need to count my

blessings that I at least have this opportunity to get better... But,

come on!! I have to complain a little!! (I have no one else to vent

at!)
