I have Multiple Myeloma and am fortunate to have very good medical care that has extended my life for more than four years. But that care can come with a tremendous cost. Copayments for the many doctor's visits, chemo and medication add up quickly. PAF's co-pay help paid for the difference between Medicare's payments and what I would have owed for biweekly chemo, regular checkups and treatment ...

    According to the Inflation Reduction Act, Part D premiums cannot increase more than 6% per year. In 2024, my premiums DOUBLED for the exact same plan I had in 2023 - absolutely no changes in the except that they doubled my premiums. I've called and asked everywhere and nobody seems to be able to help. How can they get away with that?

      @@lenastepp5495No different than how you paid last year with the exception of being capped at $2K. I’m Tier 5 in Jan with the first prescription of the month. At $14,000 a month for the drug I take, that $2K is met immediately and I pay nothing more for drugs in the formulary the remainder of the year. What I did notice however, the tiers of the drugs have changed and my premium increased 400%. This required some mind-numbing hours comparing plans, but ultimately was worth the brain cell loss as I ended up saving $600 a year by switching my plan. Best of luck to you!

    Please help! I don't know if this thread is still active, but my son needs urgent help getting Medicaid and SSI. We have been wrapped up and tangled in all the governmental red tape for 2 months now....with no help in sight. I have stage 4 cancer..no cure. My 34-year-old son moved in with me for help & support. Due to health issues, he's unable to work. Well, to make a long story short, HE now has stage 4, incurable cancer too! We can both receive treatment but it's solely used to try to slow down the spread, and attempt to offer patients as good a quality of life as possible. The problem is that he keeps getting denied for Medicaid and SSI...even though there are laws in place which guarantee his automatic eligibility and approval. You've no idea how weak I've become. I want to scream from the rooftops: HELP! My son cannot start chemo, cannot have the surgery needed to remove tumors, he cannot get treatment w/out Medicaid. I have no more $ to help. What can I do? Is there any body out there?
