Date: 2009-08-07 06:38 pm (UTC)http://www.needymeds.org/ shows that Lilly's prescription plan *does* cover at least some kinds of insulin (I saw pens and human insulin in there).
They've also got a listing (under 'by disease') for some programs that will help folks get monitors, needles, and other gear.
That's one hell of a price jump.
Medicare still only pays for some of that stuff, although I think they now consider paying for pumps. Insulin is supposedly under the Medicare D prescription plan - and wouldn't be the only drug whose costs shot up a bit when *those* kicked in. No idea if Medicare cover any of the rest of it, although foot care is still out.
My state and city clinic started offering free podiatric services to diabetics. I suspect it's been pushed through as a cost-*cutting* measure. Or at least - they had that three months ago. Schwarzenegger has slashed Medicaid and my clinic's funding.
Oh hey, I like that idea. I'm gonna write to the Clean Air Board and ask about asthma medication help. Ought to be good for a laugh.
