True, but you practically have to have one foot in the poverty gutter to get
EVERYTHING covered. As it stands, I don't have prescriptions covered because I fall into a certain category. In other words, the state assumes that I make too much money (between unemployment and SSDI). They must be out of their goddamned minds if they think that those incomes could afford HALF of the total of medications that I have to take everyday! They better be lucky that there is such a thing as State Renal Insurance, or I'd pretty much be dead by now, no joke!
I guess I shouldn't complain too much because I also have Medicare (which renal patients are pretty much automatically qualified for, but again, no script coverage). But still, it's been a hassle at times dealing with the state, so I guess all that is coming back to me as I write this. Sorry...
