Medicare part D 2008

Looks like there are no insurance plans that have gap coverage in
2008. Gap Coverage is where they cover meds after a certain amount
spent. According to the plan I selected, June 2008 is my last month.
Looks like I'll be going off meds in June 2008. Last time I crashed
it took me 2 months to be hauled back into the hospital. I figure if
I'm disabled, and they don't want to cover my meds, then I won't take
them. Fuckers. Zyprexa is very expensive each month if I were to pay
full price.

2008 looks like it should be a crazy ride....I cannot pay 600 bucks a
month starting June 2008 for Zyprexa, among my other meds.

I live in Europe, so I could tell some business men that they are really
stupid and that the world does not like their prices, even not the price for
Zyprexa, because it is not a real revolution, it is also not a true
evolution.

Or do you live also in Europe? GB? I don't need whois-services if I can ask
the people directly.

Yes. The Part D doughnut hole.

There is a good chance risperdal will become generic on 12/27/2007. If so,
and if you can tolerate it, it might be a possibility. It does not have the
anxiety reduction, but may control positive symptoms.

Okay. Sorry that I live in Europe and Switzerland. So my English is not the
best one. I could misunterstand you or use not the words that were right.
But:
I have to tell you a short story.
In Switzerland we have the same problems with this prices! They are too
high!

One more thing.
If you qualify for the Medicaid program of your state, they may pay for meds
during the doughnut hole.

Does medicare cover meds from Canada? If so they just started making
a generic zyprexa.

no, medicare will only support american pharmacies. It's ironic that
it's approved for generic in Canada yet here the price is the same.
My caseworker told me that as soon as they make it generic, they
change the formula a little bit, called it Zyprexa Zydis and then
there's Cymbalta which has zyprexa in it. Zyprexa is Lilly's #1
seller, coming in at a very high cost.

Like Kane says, Canadian med purchases do not count in the Medicare Part D
system. It is as if they never happened.
