I have been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis for 20 years. Coping with a chronic disease and its effects can be trying at times. The disease can be manageable with the help of the Lord as well as through doctors, medications, family and friends. But recently the threat of losing my medication caused me great concern and stress. You see, I was laid off and I lost my group health insurance as a result. Finding comparable yet affordable individual health insurance seemed to be impossible for someone like me with a pre-existing condition.Thank heavens I saw a commercial on TV giving a toll free number to call (1-800-4PPANOW) for prescription assistance for underinsured and uninsured people. I called, and in just a few moments I was relieved to find out there was help for me.
The application process was simple and within a few weeks I received my $2,500/month prescription at no charge from the pharmaceutical company which makes it. Come to find out this assistance has been around for 50 years, but who knew it?! I have shared this info with others, and two of them so far have also received help with their prescriptions. I wish more people with similar needs knew that help is available so they, too, could be helped like I was.
