When I was on it, my diabetes pump and supplies had a copay of zero. I got married and went on my wife’s insurance. She works for the US Postal Service. 22 years. Unionized. Federal government.

My supplies are now around $900 every three months. My copays are more. For everything.

I was better off with Medicare.

You takin about medicaid or medicare....Pretty sure you can have medicare and private insurance at the same time. You can have both medicaid and private insurnace as well if it qualifies. Pretty sure that everyone over 65 can get meidcare right?
