Hi Kaye, I think your survey is a very good idea. I plan to reply, but didn't yet, because i don't have all the prices on hand. When i renew my prescptions. i'll note all the costs, and send the questionaire back to you. Maybe this isthe reason you didn't receive many replies yet. I'm on 3 PD medications, and I do know that without prescription coverage they would cost us well over $300 dollars a month. I know i'm one of the lucky ones to have fairly good health insurance. Even so, our HMO increased their prescription copay this year - from $5.00 for a 30 day supply to a 3 tier system - $5.00 for generics; $15.00 for brand names if there is no generic available; $35.00 for brand name if there is a generic. A significant increase for us, but I realize much less than most PWP are burdened with. I can't imagine how those without prescription coverage can manage to afford their meds. Certainly Medicare coverage is an important issue and we should all be lobbying our Congressional reps. about it.
