Those plans have a finite amount of 'funding' - entirely dependent on how big Eli Lilly wants to be on any given day. If they don't have it to spare, there isn't any assistance - sorry.

Medicare Plan B (as also mentioned) is the one who pays for supplies for testing - but it would be Plan D (the worthless one) that would cover insulin...maybe. If you get a prescription for it, and manage it that way. (We never did. We never needed to. We got the prescription and tucked it away with the taxes.)

Plan B funding is how those Liberty Medical people can do business. Wow - if it didn't pay well, how in the world could they be in business anyway?

I'm all for extending Medicare - which has three qualifying categories - complete disability more than two years, End-Stage Renal Disease (hello, you're on dialysis) or age 65.

The way Medicare bills is completely different than any private plan - and is very clear up front what it will and won't cover and a lot of services can be used up completely. (We used up all of Cliff's in-patient hospital days, for example - and he wasn't on it three years. Lifetime. Yup.)
