I can't believe this shit.
I had to go to the pharmacy this afternoon to pick up a prescription for my girl. She has no insurance, 2 precsriptions (Vicodan and flexerol) cost under 12 dollars.

While I was there however, I witnessed something that has me so fucking pissed I just want to kill people.

An older gentelman, I would have to say at least 80 years old was in to pick up a prescription that is part of his cancer treatment. Last month it cost him just over 13 dollars american. He was informed by the pharmicist that his insurance company no longer covered this medication and he would have to pay full price: $113.86 for a 30 day supply of medication that he needs to live, basicly.......

He asked if the pharmacist would contact his insurance company and make sure there was no mistake. After a minute of begging this worthless bitch behind the counter to do it she replied "That is not my job sir, have a good day"

He started to walk away and I approached him and offered him my cell phone to use so he could get in touch with his insurance company. He accepted, and after a very short discussion with them gave me back my phone and told me that he was told by the agent that it was not the policy of that company to inform anyone when they change what medications they cover.

This guy was in tears. I was just fucking blown away by how cold this was handled.

So I did the right thing because if I didn't I'de never be able to live with myself, and I purchased the prescription. The guy was so fucking happy it killed me. He asked me for my phone number and told me he would pay me back as soon as he could.

Within the hour I was contacted by his daughter (also very old). She came by my house and paid me back in full, with much thanks. (she even brought me fresh baked cookies, no shit)

I can't believe that in this day and age a person as obviously old and frail as this man was is made to shoulder the cost of a life saving medication. There is no fucking excuse for this at all, and before I go to bed tonight I will say a prayer that whoever made this all possible dies a horrible death and rots in fucking hell.
