Question for those without Health Insurance
 

How do you afford your medications? I am in a situation where very soon I will most likely be without health insurance and I am on a couple of anti-depressants and birth control and I'm worried about being able to pay for these. Any advice?

Thank you!!!

forgove me, im from the UK so don't fully understand the situation correctly.

but

if the cost of med is higher than a monthly installment for health insurance would it not be worth it to take out health insurance? or is that not how it works?

*feels a bit stupid*

take care
stay safe

i dont know how it is over there but here we have medicare. its not insurance but it helps to make some medications more affordable. also having a health care card (which peole can only get if they have a low income). i dont know if you have anythingl ike that over there though..

soph.

sorry for the useless post..

Makes me thankful we have the NHS over here, no matter how much of a state it's in.

Yes, this post i useless but it bumps your thread.

Yeah yeah, fancy governments who pay to keep their citizens from dying!

Talk to your prescriber of medicines or pharmacists for suggestions on where to seek help. You don't need to be low income to take part in many health insurance programs, and some doctors get meds they can give out for free. Might work, might not. Just ask around...and good luck.

p.s. there is always Canada! (or Mexico), or you could get arrested. Then they would pay for it. but don't do that.
