I've been trying to dig myself out of debt since be laid of for 5 months and not collecting unemployment. I have an autoimmune disease that really doesnt bother me often and when it does it take prednisone which is cheap and fixes me in a week.
So last week it starts bothering me and i take my pills but im low. I call the pharm and i have no refills. They contact my dr and they are on vacation and the pharm is waiting for the dr covering to call. I run out of pills and the pharm wont give me any to hold me over.
I just moved and got new health insurance, the primary care dr my insurance gave me isnt taking new patients. I call my insurance they call around the soonest they can get me an appointment was next week. They advice me to goto those walk in clinics. They are covered. I goto 2 of them. Neither will help me since what i have requires long term care. I go back to the pharmacy explain again and beg and they wouldnt give me any meds to hold me to they hear back from my dr.
So i end up in the emergency room hoping to get a script and leave. Since my condition worsened from not being on the meds they admitted me. I spent the last 3 days in the hospital. Still feel like shit and left with a script i originally wanted.
I spoke with my insurance company today. They will not cover the hospital bill because i had a laps in coverage and its a preexisting condition. So god only knows how much a 3 day stay in the hospital is going to be. 10-15k all this for a script that cost $12 with no insurance.

Bankruptcy here i come
