Subject: [portal-PWPI] Free Medication Programs for Low-Income Pain Patients

Hello Everyone,

I know with meds, medicare and medicaid doing horrible things to all these days that getting medication is a real challenge. I found this list and I am going to start calling and writing the places for help. I would sincerely appreciate it if any of you decide to call, please write back with your good or bad news with any success of getting the meds. Just yesterday I saw a list of meds they are going to stop providing under I think both medicaid and medicare which include so many pain meds and depression meds it is unreal.

If any of these have a website or application form will you please send that to our groups too. We need to stick together. I think the government is trying to force everyone into an HMO. Of course people like me do not qualify, so let us all know what you find out, ok?

Respectfully,

Melody
