problem is, it was OTC basically. many used these medicine to help get thru withdrawals. to deal with pain. some used some to be awake.
But, NY has learned that by allowing MMJ oil to a lupus patient cuz its shown to put them in remission, then NY can charge 8000$ every three months for the treatment to keep one alive.
One cannot get medicaid or medicare to pay for same.
so, as per usual, the rich will live. the poor will not. 8000$ every three months? The gvt knows damned well that to get medicaid and medicare they go over anything u may have owned in ur lifetime. You gotta be fairly broke. Way below poverty level in my state.
So, the first hope that has developed in the lupus community, and OOPS! it will cost too much for the vast majority of us.
Provide our med and we wont' be useless eaters anymore. Just sayin.
That price is unreal. Sure, they'll make it legal to use, but how many can afford to in these times? Not many, I'm sure.
HA! Tell me about the mess with Medicaid. It's because my mom had money (that she was leaving to me so that I could stay in our home for the rest of my life), that everything from the 5 yrs. in the nursing home and her MANY other medical expenses, I had to use that money for her care. That took every penny and now I'm living below the poverty line and it's very scary and stressful. No one can live on disability alone.
I don't know what's gonna happen to all of us in a similar situation, but it's not good. Especially if Hillary wins cause it will only get worse. With Trump, I don't know, but something has to change. I'm tired of the same group of people always making the rules. I wonder who or IF anyone can get in there and chase out all of the rats and get this country back on it's feet.
God help us.
BTW Charon, I hope you're feelin' much better today. Take care of yourself and rest.
