Your portrayal of me and my search for information is simply not true. First of all, you use the word “we”, which is a powerful divider of people and sets into motion the idea that there is an “us and them” in any situation that is at hand. This site is surely an open forum of private...

"I have not lived in the US that long yet.". Meaning, that I haven't been here enough time to have built up enough qualifications to receive gov aid when the time comes, because I have only worked for 2.5 years but have lived here for much longer. Who is "our"? Is there an us and them here?

All through the time that I have spent watching videos, reading accounts of this lifestyle, what others have faced/experienced, I ask myself "Could I do that?" or "Can I be OK with that happening to me?"and "Can I live without "X"? The answer often is I am not sure, largely because I have only...

You should re-read what I wrote as it isn't what you think I wrote. I think there are big gaps in healthcare, as well as big gaps in some people's understandings, who don't have medical issues or concerns, as to what healthcare options are available for people who aren't in their position...

I am not on any disability or other gov income, so that aspect doesn't apply to me. Any other drug program would also be delivered to the provider, and not to me direcly. And thus, I would have to qualify, with residency being a key component of that and with likely similar requirements to...

I fully accept the moving parameters, and invention of new ones, since I have a really dim view of the sick care industry. The pharma crooks also invent illnesses, when they have discovered some unexpected effect from their research into a drug. My dose of insulin used to be 175 x 2 per day. My...

I don't know on what basis I can determine what drugs I should be taking. Or how you did that. So I am puzzled by your statement. I do not need health advice, thank you. What makes you think I am not in the US?

I get a letter each year from Sanofi-Aventis, informing me that I am eligible to receive their medicine (Lantus) at no cost through their Patient Connection Program. They go on to say that the medicine will be delivered to my healthcare provider (the charity who I am with). I don't know how to...

But in order to have health insurance, I must have it as a resident in a particular state, don't I? I have largely disengaged from much of life in the past 5 years so I really have no idea what has happened to anything in society since then. But when I was working, health insurance was...

Thanks! I don't desire to go to Mexico under any circumstances and 3 month's supply of meds is of no real value to me. Its a similar kind of trap to my current situation as I am geographically bound. So, unless there is a real generic version of insulin that I can take, I don't see how it will...

I am curious as to what insulin you take? I don't know what Regular and NPH mean. I am unaware that there is generic insulin available. I am type 2 and have been on Lantus for years. I know the Relion brand but didn't know they made insulin. I am also on 1000mg Metformin, twice a day and a...

The charity I get my meds through is one of those med programs. They are simply the conveyor of the drugs as the drug company won't just send the meds to anyone who says they need it. I am sure they do this to prevent abuse. I don't see how I can qualify for other med programs without living in...

I've been ruminating over this way of living for a couple of years and so far, I've watched several YT videos and read some accounts of people who have lived this way and who are living this way as a lifestyle choice. I have not been put off yet by what I have learned. I currently have one...
