Amelie, I completely understand on not having
insurance. I had a $300 bill just on medication alone
and was not on insurance after having lost my job for
2-3 months. It was horrible!!! I finally just paid
off my hospital bill last weekend. I think that is a
great idea: get everything refilled before the
insurance is gone!!!
