Questions about having double insurance

[Boo Radley]

The penalty was a joke and one of the least bad things about ObamaCare

It was the worst for me.

That is because you were told it was so

I've had to give up some medications because they quadrupled in price this January.
There are no "generics" for these drugs either, so I've had to give them up because I can't afford them.
And unfortunately, the main side effect I'm getting is weight gain which I cannot get rid of because of the other meds I take.

So, I'm stuck getting fat because I can't get the meds my Dr wants me on, to take care of my ailments and to keep the weight off.

I have a perscription plan paid for by my employer, but it doesn't pay much, especially now that the med I need has quadrupled this January.

I've looked into double prescription insurance, but I'm not sure exactly how it works, who the best company is for this, and so on.


Does anybody have double insurance, or understand how it works?

Have you checked out Canadian pharmacies? My bet is they have a generic.

Funny how well hindsight works.

If one has 2 policies any claim whatsoever should be covered with zero copay. Otherwise the system is failed.

Double insurance? wtf? Having one policy on most anything is a waste of money. MOst insurance preys on insecurity and fear.

Unfortunately, its not something that can be gotten from Canada through the mail.

True.
But without insurance, most medications are over $1,000.00 each.
