You should get a supplemental drug plan. Generics are usually cheap
enough not to need one but name brands can be out of sight. Years ago I
took one for a year that would have cost me $36,500 but only cost me a
$80 copay.


Wow, 36K. May I ask, did it work?

He's still posting isn't he?


I already thought about that, but that doesn't actually mean it worked
(if what Frank had was not fatal), or maybe it worked some but not much.
I was hoping fof details.

That's cheap for many of the newer cancer or others...a friend is on one
that is $60K/mo. But, it's kept him going for almost 10 yr now when
before started his prognosis was 6 mo.


Wow. I guess this is why I save my money. If I get to be 95 and
haven't spent much on drugs and doctors, I'll have to spend 60K on I
don't know what. Maybe I'll fly in some malted milks from indiana.
