Come July I will no longer have insurance. I am eligible for Medicare but what I have found out is it will cost me around $9000 a year. just for prescription coverage. Any help would be appreciated.

AARP Rx majorly covers prescription drugs. Some still have hefty copay but my monthly is under $60 per month!

Talk to your physician's nurse, and get the contact information, or have them give your information, to the pharmaceutical rep for your medication. The majority of drug companies have an assistance program that can get your meds for you at a very reduced rate, or at no cost to you. The drug companies provide this service, and receive benefit from aiding patients, do not be shy. Your Dr can help you. It is not a charity program, it is medication assistance. I am a retired RN and medical administrator for 45 years, and this IS a common request.
