I don’t have enough money to pay for all the medicine that my family needs. We need help to get money in order to afford to stay healthy. If we don’t stay healthy then we have to go the doctor, and those bills are extremely expensive. I don’t know what to do. It is getting really hard to make it anymore.

Terrible customer service. I am taking my business to Walgreen’s. The drive through is a joke, there is never a friendly face. Always expect mininum service is not less. The Pharmacy seems to be overwhelemed and tired all the time. The employees don’t even seem like they get along with each other.

I have no medical insurance and am not eligible for any. I have been on luvox (taking generic) for years but have been paying out of pocket $250 per month. My mom has called pharmacys and applied for patient assistance programs for me but they have all said that I do not qualify. I do not make a lot of money, but I do live with my mom and I have just told the truth and not lied to try and get help. My mom has helped as much as she can but she and my sister no longer have medical insurance either. Is there anything that can be done? Please can you help me? Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

My husband injured his back 25 years ago and has had 2 surgeries. He only got worse and has been unable to work since his injury. We switched rolls and I went to work and provided medical insurance and an income. Four years ago, I hurt my back, the same type of injury as my husband. I soon developed Rheumatoid Arthritis, liver disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and depression. Now we are both out of work. Everybody knows this story - no medical, no income, kids to raise, bills to pay. The Medicare Drug Program helps, but it runs out too soon and everybody knows prescriptions aren’t cheap. Who would have thought we’d be in this situation at our age?

Unemployed 59 Year Old School Teacher with Chronic Back injury and depression. Unemployment benefits do not allow funds to purchase necessary medications, so I have contacted The Medicine Program.com for guidance and assistance. If accepted I will be able to maintain a comfortable life style and be able to continue my search for employment in the teaching profession. Unfortunately, the facility that I was working at laid off employees due to lack of funding due to low enrollment at that facility. Being laid-off and 59 years old has limited my income to a mere $1,488.00 per month for a period up to 26 weeks maximum. I will be 60 December 17, 2006 and am hopeful that in the event I haven’t returned to education, that I will qualify for a program which will entitle me to receive benefits to cover the cost of my medications.
