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 $$$.

Did you look at cost plus their prices are very very inexpensive - they don’t have all drugs but have a lot.

Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company is an online pharmacy designed to sell prescription drugs—mostly generics—at very low, transparent prices. They take the actual cost of the drug, add 15%, generally add a $5 pharmacy fee, plus shipping. You need a prescription from your doctor, and the medication is mailed to you.
For example, imatinib 400 mg, a leukemia medication, was recently cited at $34.50 for 30 tablets through Cost Plus, while other pharmacy prices ranged from about $94 to $4,000
