Re: Insurance Companies Sue

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue:

I agree with you regarding insurance companies - they

should not be able to deny coverage on a medication

that is prescribed by your doctor, which does not have

any generic. I am on Mobic (after discontinuing

Celebrex and being unable to take Motrin) and am doing

well with it. My doctor told me that it was better on

the stomach than most. You might want to ask about

it.
