Reply #9: Seriously? Die, maybe. [View All]

I'm on Social Security Disability. I'm supposed to be on about $800 a month in prescriptions. That's more than my income. The Bush prescription drug plan does nothing for me because of the huge up-front deductables. I'd have to not pay things like rent and utilities for at least one month to start getting any coverage. Homelessness would be make me deteriorate quicker than being without my prescriptio0n drugs.

I'm not going to last another Presidential term without my prescription drugs. No way. I've got a lower brain injury that is starting to cause problems in the involuntary swallowing process now. Without the medications, I'm going to choke to death in my sleep one night in the next few years.

I've already informed my family about the situation, and they have instructions exactly what to tell a medical examiner to look for if I go.
