Why is it that insurance premiums go up and what you get for it goes down??? I would really like to know. This year our premiums went up, but instead of making it better on us to get Gator's medicine it got worse. The last time I went to have his Enalipril filled the pharmacist told me that insurance is changing the tier level for a suspension. Or in easier terms a liquid instead of a pill... Boo hiss. I will spend any amount of money for good health for him. In my perfect world it would just stay what I was expecting and had always paid. So I wanted to come up with a solution to our small problem. After making some calls and a couple of weeks waiting to hear back..... We get to try pills. These are significantly less expensive. I wasn't sure if Gator could swallow a pill. We hadn't ever tried it before. He has taken meds his whole life and will his whole life, so we would have to make the change sometime. This morning I asked him if he wanted to finish off his liquid stuff or if he wanted to try the pills. He opted for the pill. I geared up for a huge ordeal. He put it at the back of his tongue, took a swig of chocolate milk..... And swallowed it down. Nuff said!!! Boy this is so much better then I thought... Here are all the upsides:
1. We can take pills any where, in emergencies and some in our 72 hour kits. Because it doesn't have to be refrigerated.
2. It costs a lot less..
3. I think I can get it at any pharmacy instead of one that does compounding!!!
Yay no down sides!!!

That is so great for all the above reasons! Way to go Gator!
I have had a huge phobia of swallowing pills since I was a little girl and gagged on one. It is so hard for me to even get a tiny little one down.
After I had Tanner, I had them bring me 9 little sacrament sized cups of pain killer since I refused pills... THAT was fun.
So Gator is a rockstar in my book!
Yeah! I am glad you can make the switch. Our plan doesn't cover meds AT ALL until we have paid thousands out of pocket. I agree- it gets more expensive every year and they cover less and less. And, sadly, I don't see that changing any time soon!
going through this same issue with Arnas meds, thing is she can't take pills, ever. I had a huge conversation with the insurance co today, they want the doc to fill out a letter of medical necessity and then maybe they will cover the suspension meds that she must have every month, what a big joke. So until that is done I had to pay the huge out of pocket and maybe I will get a refund.
