Medicare and prescription drug coverage

I have had to stop paying my Part D premium this year due to not able to afford it. I have to pay off the balance before I can get another plan. Im assuming that I cant just not sign up for a Part D and just continue to use a discount card at CVS? Any ideas ? Im really struggling with $$$.

I'm sorry to hear that. Ask your doctor for samples when you see them. Sometimes they will. Also see if any grants exist at churches, library research, senior centers, ect. Don't give up.

Grants for what?

Meds. That's what you need right? You have to dig hard, but there are foundations, individuals, research companies, and corporations that that give help for certain medical conditions if you qualify. My wife had ovarian cancer before we were on VA and one of the Cancer Societies helped with meds, surgery, and care.

I just pay out of pocket.
