How do copays affect the decisions you or your family make about your healthcare and your budget? I will try to limit my visits and medications.

Is there anything else you’d like us to know? I have been notified that I will be having co-pays beginning the 1st of this year on my prescription medications. As I have 10 prescriptions I must fill each month and most are not generically available I am concerned about meeting my monthly bills since my co-pay will probably;y be around $30 monthly. I am already relying on a food bank to eat. I am elderly and disabled and cannot work. I am worried because my sister who is mentally disabled is in the same situation. I guess I will speak with my Doctors and try to opt out of some of my prophylactics which are being used to prevent disease from occurring. Naturally, I am very concerned.

Please tell us how some or all of these changes affect you, your family, or your community. Please see previous answers.
