  How often do you need to ration your insulin supplies because you’re concerned you could not afford to use it as prescribed?
  Preaching to choir, here. It's ridiculous what one must do to get what they need, when on a Medicare Advantage plan.

  I have insurance, too. As a nurse I've also had patients tell me how and where they get supplies and it not from a pharmacy or DMR supplier. It's outrageous anyone living in a supposedly 1st world country should have to worry about being able to get insulin.

  It makes a lot of sense to me.

  Dear Wanacure, I'd gladly demand a response from Senators and/or Representatives, but I'm afraid they're highly unlikely to 'listen' to someone that comes from a country where we have a National Health System that doesn't charge diabetics ... and some other medical conditions ... anything for their prescription requirements.

  Thanks, Mick. Please keep reminding us of other non-profit health delivery systems. The Swiss let non-profit health insurance companies compete for subscribers. Why not donate $25 to Medicare for All or Physicians for a National Health Care Program? Why not support politicians signed on to Medicare for All? DEMAND A RESPONSE FROM YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVE on Medicare For All. Call them and email them, even better lobby them in person.

  I read this question as "Diabetic Supplies" and lacking a pancreas, the cost of Creon which is ~ $600 with insurance and $1400 without for 3 months is awful. My endo says this used to be $5 per month. What happened?

  NEVER !!! Why when I started 70 years ago, my insulin cost per month was less than an hour of my wages.. My syringe was glass that I boiled every morning along with the needle that I sharpened on the striker paper of a matchbook!!!! Lets see what is really going to happen when Joes law takes over..I have not really looked at the details... $35 per month for insulin... what about the cost and problems of pump, Cgm, etc that so many are using???

  The only time I have ever thought of doing this was when I was without insurance. I didn't, but the thought did occur to me. I'm just not sure how/why someone would do this!

  Ive not been faced with rationing as of yet but now on Aetna Medicare the cost of both my insulins have drastically gone up in the 2nd quarter with having to meet this astronomical deductible before the cost goes back down. I managed to stockpile several boxes while my husband was still working. But, now that he's retired, were both fighting the high cost since he's type 2 needing his own meds.

  I said never, cause it's not rationing per se, but I recently had to resort to using expired insulin from my backup supplies for my pump because I couldn't get Medicare to supply it under Part B (DME) as they're supposed to do when it's for use in a pump. Ended up having to pay a pretty high deductible and get it under my pharm coverage because they still haven't straightened this out.
