I finally did it today, I fell into the donut hole. I bought my part D medicare insurance last may when my wife lost her and then our midical coverage. I shopped around not knowing a fucking thing about insurance and got what I thought was an acceptable, not adequate, but acceptable plan. Today the morphine I take for easing pain went from 9.00 to 23.23. Not disastrous but a surprise. Went home called the insurance company and found I had fallen into the nether world. Ouch. Then after calling the insurance company once I called back to get "the rest of the story".
Most of the drugs were manageable, one even went down 3 cents. One however went from 9.00 to 88.00 that one I need. The really big surprise came when a generic I have been taking went from 9.00 to........409.00. Half of my Goddamn house payment. Next year my premium goes up 50% and my minimum generic goes from 9.00 to 19.00 and since I start the year from the beginning not in the spring time I will fall into the fucking hole late spring or early summer. This means I will lose my house because my drugs will equal my house payment and I can't pay both. I could sell my .otor home but after about 6 months we would have no where to live.
We live in the most powerful nation on earth. We rebuild countries we have destroyed but we can not provide health care to our own citizens. My guess is the countries we have decimated have better health care provided to them the we do. As a parkie we know it takes a lot of meds to keep going. Now I have to decided do we live in a camper until we need assisted living or do I quit taking meds so we get to that point sooner. What really pisses me off are people who vote for the assholes who keep trying to take away our benifits to give the bastards who have all the wealth more tax breaks. Six Walmart heirs have the wealth of 150 million Americans, 85 families have the wealth of 350 BILLION PEOPLE, half the fucking planet. But 7.25 per hour is to much for the Waltons to pay their workers, and now they are taking away health care benefits from over 30,000 workers because it is cutting INTO THEIR FUCKING FAMILIES PROFITS. People go with out food, medicine, or a roof over their heads because a living wage is to much for them to pay. Marie Antoinette started the French Revolution by saying let them eat cake which was really let them eat bread. It is now time to ask ourselves, "when do we get some bread". It is time for a real revolution..........VOTE GODDAMNIT VOTE THOSE BLOOD SUCKING BASTARDS OUT OF OFFICE. We worked, we sacrificed, we made them rich. When will they be satisfied? When 50 own the wealth of half the planet,25, 10, or 1. How much more do we let them take from use before we get off our asses and take it back. I don't care if the rich stay rich I just care that the poor stop increasing and dying for them ends NOW. NOT ONE MORE DAY, NOT ONE MORE CHILD GOES HUNGRY, NOT ONE MORE DISABLED OR ELDERLY PERSON HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A HOME, FOOD, OR MEDICINE.
