Get Help for Paying for Your Prescription Medications

Many people in our country are uninsured these days. That is a scary thing. There are people who are not getting routine medical care because they can't afford it. There are other people who aren't getting specialized care because they can't afford it. We have been uninsured for about 6 years. As self-employed business people, insurance costs are astronomical. When last we were paying for insurance, it was $1200.00 a month and that was 6 years ago. In the last 6 years, I have been admitted to ICU for a gall bladder attack, had a gall bladder removed and had a lymph node removed from under my arm. My son has broken his finger. And then there are the normal yearly exams, mammograms, tests, etc. We are still paying for the removal of my body parts. I hope that our country will work out a system where everyone in it will be insured, but in the meantime, we have to search for solutions to help ourselves out.

For free or reduced price prescriptions here are a couple of sites to visit:

Pfizer prescription help program

Select Care Benefits Network

NAMI

For other free health benefits you can check out these sites:

The Medicine Program

HRSA

Insure Kids Now

These are just a few of the sites I found when googling terms like free medicine and free health care. I haven't tried out any of these programs yet or delved into them, so I am not endorsing any. I just wanted to give you a spring board as well as the tools to delve further on your own. If you are uninsured, check into ways to help yourself. Either by finding insurance with really high deductibles to cover catastrophic illness or by seeing if you qualify for a state or government program.
