We are living in a country where Type 1 diabetics are going broke paying for our medical supplies. We never asked to be Type 1. It is an auto-immune disease. Some of us have full-time jobs and still struggle paying the co-pays each month for doctor visits and medications. If we want to test our blood sugar 7-8 times a day, rather than 3-4 times a day, we're forced to pay a ridiculous amount of money out of pocket for additional testing supplies. I think it's about time that insurance companies stop making a fortune off of Type 1's who are just trying to remain healthy. We shouldn't have to decide between grocery shopping or picking up medical supplies. I urge that a base $5-$10 copay be charged per each medicine required. We shouldn't be going broke as a result of trying to remain healthy.
