My pharmacist was the first to say it aloud when I presented with prescriptions for diabetes meds . . . "it's one of the most expensive ailments there is".

Thankfully I was on (cheap) metformin during the time before I aged into Medicare.

Now here's the incredible part: Once I qualified, I got all my Medicare policies in order, and I also qualified for a Missouri state assistance program. So when I picked up my meds this month, I owed not one cent. If it comes about that I need insulin or a brand-name drug, I will owe a co-pay, but right now when everything is generic, my insurance covers the whole thing. That one blind-sided me - I would never have expected total coverage. Thank you, State of Missouri!
