Hi AvonLady,
I agree totally with you. The problem is, not many get proactive about trying to get this changed. There is a Diabetic Caucus formed by Congress. I had been fighting with Military Health care for suddenly denying my insulin pod supplies. I think I may have won it. I have a list of the Caucus members per State if you are interested in voicing your opinion and demanding change.\

This would be great for diabetics and other people who have to go to the dr. every three months and take these high priced medications and insulin! My husband's workplace gave them thier insurance packets and the co-pays doubled and I just about went ballistic! I would've been ok with it if it went up only by $5.00's, but that wasn't the case for 2010. It's rediculous what a person is going to have to pay for healthcare in the future! We need our medical insurance coverage to be lower and that goes for our medicines too!
