I have spent the last 3 hours frantically trying to figure out how Josh can get his Humalog. 
the man is type 1, not type 2. he literally needs this to live, regardless of diet or weight loss. 
apparently, his insurance kick him off. no email, no letter in the mail...nothing. 
the Pharmacist basically just said "yeah, you are on your own"

pharm workers. it doesn't even phase them anymore. you could stand there bleeding and they would just say "call your insurance provider. Next!" i mean, i don't blame them necessarily. our system is screwed, and they know it. it is one of the reasons i refuse to do that job again. i can't deal with old people and single moms crying because their copay went up yet again. 

you would at least think they would be authorized to give one emergency vial when there is a problem with the insurance. this could kill someone. jesus fucking christ. 

just venting here. i am trying to stay calm for his sake and  i found an application for for emergency vials through the drug manufacturer but im not sure how long they will take to approve it. 

ugh

Idk if you have checked it, or even if it could help, but https://costplusdrugs.com/ can be a great resource for many different kinds of meds.

Thanks. It looks like he would qualify for free Rx shipments through the Humalog manufacturer. At least somebody at these pharm companies has a fucking conscience. The pharmacy said he would owe almost 20k without insurance.
Personally? I'm just annoyed because somehow all the organizing of medical information and applying for stuff falls on me. Sure you can relate.

The whole system is a steaming pile of corruption.

But yes, I can also relate.
