Beautiful site!

Viva La Rasa

I'm goin to Mexico to get some inhalers. That HFA stuff sucks. Where's the blow to the dome and sweet instant relief that the old CFCs used to facilitate.

Medicare Advantage Freedom Blue-Outrageous Drug Co-Pay!

My Dr wrote me a prescription for Ventolin HFA today. I went home and checked out Freedom Blue "formulary" and to my shock and disbelief my co-pay would be $70.00. I went to Walmart and they said it costs $34.50. Now how crazy is that? Why is a co-pay higher than the cost of the medication? Is that legal? Of course, I paid the $34.50 out of pocket. So much for Medicare Advantage...I am greatly disappointed in this coverage. I guess the insurance company is telling us in no uncertain terms to pay for it yourself. I will suggest to them to take Ventolin off their formulary, as it is an insult to my intelligence what they are doing. Well, anyway the HFA spray either hits my tongue or the roof of my mouth. I don't feel it going toward my throat where it should. I heard that CFC inhalers can be purchased from pharmarcies in Mexico. Cheaper and works better. Why don't the enviromentalists STOP fireworks? They emit bad air more than CFC's. Our baseball field shoots off fireworks several times a week! But the green people say it would upset the public to halt them. There is something else going on here and I think its all about greed. With our new administration on it's way to socialism I suppose we are to keep quiet, but I am not going to be silent!
