Encouraging developments

So.... some encouraging developments. We think we may be able to get the medication from Canadian pharmacies for about half the cost, $4400. That's illegal, but apparently the US doesn't prosecute people who buy less than a 90 day supply at a given time for personal use. And, there is a possibility of switching insurance companies to a company that would agree to cover the medication, unlike our current insurance who refuses to cover it... which we believe to be in violation of the insurance contract. We are looking into that. But any switch, if we made it, couldn't take place until July or August. So, if we switched, we still have to figure out between now and then.  One irritating thing we discovered is that the amount that insurance companies pay for the medication we need is less than $3000 for a 3 month supply. But we can't buy it retail at that price. The cheapest we've seen is the Canadian pharmacy. Anyway... the situation looks a little brighter than it did a couple of days ago.
