Rx program in MN as bad as everywhere else

[preciousdove]

My ILSA from Courage Center came by today and told me that most of his clients have had nightmarish experiences trying to get their meds. They were given wrong numbers, no numbers or were assigned to programs that do not dispense their life saving medicines. That is all he and other people who work with the disabled have been working on since Jan 1st.

Thought you should know that MN the can do state couldn't handle this albatross any better than any other state.

2. The pharmacist where I pick up my mom's prescriptions

told me it has been a nightmare - not just with the public programs but the private ones as well. When I was at the drug store last Saturday the man in front of me was just finding out his drug wasn't covered by his new plan. So far my mom was lucky and there hasn't been a problem with her prescriptions I was really worried after the article in last Friday's Strib about people who were eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid were having problems as that is the situation Mom is in.
