I have asthma too, and every year I exceed my the prescription coverage and have to pay for the expensive asthma meds out of pocket.<br /><br />All the major drug companies have patient assistance programs if you're below a certain income level and can't afford your medications- I think to get a tax writeoff and to placate the gov't from price regulations. I was initially embarrassed to apply, but I did. The people working at these programs are very kind, and I got my medicine for free for some time.<br /><br />Here are some- hope it helps!<br />Astra Zeneca- http://www.astrazeneca-us.com/help-affording-your-medicines/prescription-saving-program/ and Merck http://www.merck.com/merckhelps/patientassistance/home.htmlMelanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-78449198602757555792011-08-31T16:32:42.472-07:002011-08-31T16:32:42.472-07:00Sorry to hear about the insurance thing. Insurance...Sorry to hear about the insurance thing. Insurance can be a HUGE pain. :(<br /><br />Someone else recently mentioned doing an online Bible study. I'm sort of shy in person, and I don't have much time to go to Bible studies, so, I do them on my own. I'd love to do a blog sort of one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-54640743139148989282011-08-31T13:29:22.205-07:002011-08-31T13:29:22.205-07:00Dang, insurance is screwing everyone!

Ive never participated, but a number of girls at my church have and like it. <br /><br />I've got the Esther study on my desk but just haven't gotten to it. I'm in three bible studies right now and as much as I want to do the Esther study, I can't add another. I love the homework too, though. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-36987566219211817702011-08-31T12:15:06.636-07:002011-08-31T12:15:06.636-07:00So sorry about the stress of the insurance stuff. ...So sorry about the stress of the insurance stuff.

We didn't look into it much before I quit my job - but it is terrible. It costs a lot and then it costs us some more out of pocket. I just don't think it is right to have to worry about getting heath care or affording it.<br /><br />I would love to join a bible study. I go to one on Wednesdays that is a combo bible/book study. I have no idea how to do one online - but I would get my hands in if we figured something out.Moments and Impressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985790308177683141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-90765767134014222982011-08-31T10:34:42.384-07:002011-08-31T10:34:42.384-07:00Ugh, insurance stuff is the bane of my existence r...Ugh, insurance stuff is the bane of my existence right now and I just posted about it, too.

That's what I'm doing right now, and it's fully covering alllllll of my maternity. I won't even have a co-pay for delivery or anything!!! The only catch is, it won't cover the baby once he's born. <br /><br />Good luck with insurance though, it's a pain and I think the whole system is majorly screwed up....Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962498735246318189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-72086565911266060832011-08-31T07:57:46.838-07:002011-08-31T07:57:46.838-07:00Meredith--

Have you ever heard of BSF? I just checked the website and there are classes in Oregon...though I can't remember where in Oregon you live, so it might not work for you. But they have a children's program, so Lizzie could attend with you and learn some of the same content that you are studying. It is about to start for the year, since the U.S. classes go September-May. The website is www.bsfinternational.org. Just throwing it out there in case you want to give it a try. This year's study is the book of Acts, and I'm super excited about it. Blessings!Elizabethhttp://littlehouseinthewood.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
