I am trying to save all the money I can by going to my family doctor now for the breast thing and the diabetic stuff.
I have to go to the doctor every 3 months to get blood work done because of be diabetic.
It is $60.00 coe pay now for the Diabetic doctor.
Plus I have to go to the family doctor which is $30.00
Plus all the meds I have to take.
Hubby is the only one working ; so now that we have the expensive new house payment; and haven't gotten the old house sold yet;

just wish I didn't have all the diseases and conditions I have and have to take so much meds.
I know it could be worse though; I am thankful to God it isn't. hugs sheila

Medical bills can be out of this world. I feel your pain. When I was hospitalized with pneumonia earlier this year, the total bill came to just less than I earn per year. It was seven thousand alone for the CAT scan. Unbelievable. Fortunately I have good insurance. But I feel for those who don't. Something needs to be done, but I don't know what the answer is. A trick with meds is to ask your dr. to prescribe twice the dose you need, then cut them in half. Then they last twice as long. Some drs. will do it, but some won't. (((Hugs)))

Some doctors will also give free samples, they usually have a closet full of medication samples. Good luck.

I had that before too.
wasn't in the hospital as Mom and dad couldn't afford it when I was younger.
Not fun. hugs sheila
