How do copays affect the decisions you or your family make about your healthcare and your budget?
Is there anything else you’d like us to know?
Please tell us how some or all of these changes affect you, your family, or your community. My family does have income, so we are able to make adjustments for the copays. We are also fortunate to not have a lot of medical expenses. However, my concern is for others who have many prescriptions or medical devices, such as oxygen or things like that, that would really add up to a large amount in copays over the course of a month. This is especially troublesome for large families. I am also very concerned about the copays for substance abuse services. Many times a person might be ready to take the step toward treatment and recovery. This can be a precarious time for an individual and I would hate to imagine something like a $50 copay holding someone back from receiving the help they need and desire. $50 might not sound like a lot to many people, but it might as well be a million if you don’t have it.
