Say What I Think

Let me start by saying normally I am not a political type of person, I prefer not to be involved. Funny thing is I have served for my district, don’t get me wrong it wasn’t horrible but I wouldn’t want to do it again. It’s not my cup of tea, but maybe I need a change of attitude because I am getting sick and tired of things. This week has been very rough, I have bad allergies and when they get bad I simply can’t breath. Normally my doctor gives samples because I do not make a lot of money. Now I can’t even get medical help, because they claim we make to much money. Hmm like to see them live on my budget for 2 weeks, they’d see just how much money I have left over for medical stuff. I wish I had insurance but I can’t afford it and often it’s came to choosing to eat or having my asthma meds. This week, it was choosing to breath, more then having other things met, speaking of that I have to pay direct TV. Bet that guy happy with me because I got a little snippety with him when he didn’t listen to me that I would pay when I got home.
Yesterday I went to the doctor I was unable to breath and was feeling like maybe I had caught something from a little kid. So they ran their test let’s not even think about what that’s going to cost me. Doctor looked in my ears and said you have fluid in your ears, I told her yup they been feeling full. It’s hard to explain but when my allergies get bad my ears get fluid in them, it’s not really painful just annoying. She got me a few prescriptions which I was glad she done that for me. It helps because 2 of the meds she put me on would cost more then I make in a month. For my rescue inhaler she didn’t have them. I bet I know why because the big name brand don’t wanna give up their profits. Okay no big deal I can afford my rescue inhaler at least I thought it used to be about 30$. I just about freaked out when I found out the med my doctor prescribe was 60$, the pharmacist knows me and my family, so she knows our situation. What I’d like to know how am I going to make ends meet for almost 2 weeks on 19 bucks. Recently we took in dad, and my husband on meds also. So when I told my pharmacist I don’t have that type of money. she said she call the doctor office and see if she can get another substitute which would be lower cost. I spend half of today dealing with this. By the time I started feeling very ticked off and feeling like a vacation at Las Vegas hotels might be a good idea, maybe I could gamble and win my medications.
I finally told both my clinic and pharmaceutics it should not be this hard for me to get a asthma med that I can afford. Well at the pharmacist I found out something. Okay, I love my Country, but frankly I am getting sick of the stupidity of those who make decision for us. The Government and their global warming people are causing people like me not to be able to get the medicines we could afford because you know what they just did pretty much said gee you now get to have the name brand meds. Now I will be honest and say I believe in some of the Global warming hip but I disagree with a lot of it too. To bad if you can’t afford it because your asthma meds is hurting our Ozone layer! Give me a Break! The administration said they’d like to make Medical stuff more reachable my thoughts to that is bull-crap, in no way does me having to get a name brand product makes it easier for me to seek medical attention when I needed it. It makes it harder me to get the medications I need to be able to breath. Sorry I might not be good at taking my meds because they are simply to expensive all together but I do try to keep the rescue inhaler. My feelings is would it not have been easier to let the pharmaceutical companies keep their generics and give them a dead line instead of pulling all the meds off the shelf. This was a dumb move by our law makers.
By the way I am using my constitutional rights to speak freely. It’s great having that right that my father and father in law fought for.
